Epic, touching, grand - watching an accident in Slo-Mo5
This is THE book about movies gone wrong that any film buff should and must have read. The story of HEAVEN'S GATE - and how a young maverick director's vision & perfectionism goes crashing down and (incidentally) takes down a studio - written by one of the producers who greenlit the project.

But FINAL CUT is far more than this. The first 100 pages are a grand history of United Artists. And in between the Michael Cimino/ Heaven's Gate episodes we pop in and out of the production of MANHATTAN, meet Woody Allen, then Scorsese and De Niro pouring over the RAGING BULL script, the APOCALYPSE NOW postproduction etc. etc. and daily Hollywood work in one of its most glorious moments.

As I said - must-have and I read it once a year.
