◎レビュー (Amazon)
Heaven's Gate has entered Hollywood terminology as a definition for an unbelievably huge disaster--critically and financially. Many movies have lost more money than this 1980 film, but it has the unprecedented repercussion of sinking an entire studio (United Artists). Although some elements of Michael Cimino's laborious 219- minute saga do resonate, there are only two aspects that are consistently impressive: the look of the film and the soundtrack. In his early 20s, David Mansfield won a role in the band that played in the movie (he's the fiddler). A musical prodigy--he has played with Bob Dylan and Bruce Hornsby & the Range-- Mansfield scored the movie when more famous composers did not sign. Now available for the first time on CD--and expanded to nearly an hour --Mansfield's evocative music is better than ever. Much like the score for Ken Burns's The Civil War, strings are prevalent; the mandolin and violin receive most the exposure. The "Heaven Gate's Waltz" is a catchy tune that immediately makes your feet want to swing into action. Mansfield also does some impressive adaptation, turning the "Blue Danube" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" into folk tunes that put you right back to the time when dirt roads and crowded dance halls dotted the open West. --Doug Thomas
