...never really deal with the ultimate horror of what America did to Vietnam. But Michael Cimino concerns himself more with what Vietnam did to America. He follows the lives of five Russian-American steelworker friends in a small Ohio valley town, while remaining largely true to actual events. This ground-level view is contrived at first--for instance, the actors are awkward and reckless with their guns, and they talk a little like displaced New Yorkers--but the emotional strength of the story wins the audience. Robert DeNiro carries the movie with the intensity of that inner distance...
Racing down a powdered slope may be thrilling, but when those fast-waxed bottoms leave the ground you enter another world. Last weekend in Vermont New England's top collegiate jumpers demonstrated their graceful aerobatics at Middlebury College's 55 meter hill.

These Director Apted photographs with a dreamy yet intensely curious eye, and the result is a slow but curiously absorbing entertainment, something like a stroll through a well-restored historic house where one is led to romanticize the lives once led there...
