Michael Cimino, God Bless America

The lens chases the ghost of a genius whose fame blazed and faded with dazzling speed. Archival footage, colleague interviews, and fragments of legendary films assemble a portrait of Michael Cimino — a director obsessed with the American Dream and shattered by its underbelly. The documentary traces the path from the triumph of *The Deer Hunter* to the catastrophe of *Heaven's Gate*, striving to separate the myth from the man. It's a journey into the heart of creative combustion and Hollywood oblivion, where every frame breathes obsession and tragedy.
