Cimino believes in the intensity of his method. He told TIME Correspondent James Willwerth on location: "You follow an obsession. It leads you somewhere.

...blinding weirdness, that made Slouching Towards Bethlehem one of the purest leftover artifacts of the '60s. Didion again collects clippings of American death trips: the brothers who bludgeoned Ramon Novarro, for example; and the 26-year-old woman who put her five-year-old daughter out to die on the center divider of Interstate 5 some miles south of the last Bakersfield exit; the child's fingers had to be pried loose from the Cyclone fence when she was rescued twelve hours later by the California Highway Patrol...
