De Niro and Cimino

discussing a scene on location in Thailand

 

De Niro:

“I always felt that The Deer Hunter

was going to be a good movie;

otherwise I wouldn’t have done it.

It had its flaws,

but there was something very special about it.

I responded to Mike [Cimino],

I responded to his passion

and how serious he was about the film.”

 

Robert De Niro's Deer Hunter archive – in pictures

The film caught the trauma of the Vietnam war.

Forty years on,

its star has opened his personal archive for a new book,

One Shot: The Making of The Deer Hunter,

offering a glimpse of never-before-seen material

Michael Cimino    USA    1939-2016

 

Academy Award-winning filmmaker

who earned a reputation

as one of Hollywood’s boldest directors

with the haunting 1978

Vietnam War drama

“The Deer Hunter”

 

(...)

 

“The Deer Hunter,”

just the second feature

directed by Mr. Cimino

— a former painter, art student

and commercial director —

seemed to exemplify

a decade’s worth of groundbreaking

motion pictures

by writers and directors

who were given wide latitude

to fulfill their visions

by mainstream studios.

 

In the tradition of Arthur Penn’s

“Bonnie and Clyde”

(1967),

Francis Ford Coppola’s

“The Godfather”

(1972),

Martin Scorsese’s

“Mean Streets”

(1973)

and Roman Polanski’s

“Chinatown”

(1974),

“The Deer Hunter”

cloaked a mood

of existential uncertainty

beneath layers of violence.
