Michael Cimino\\u2019s sprawling anti-western is, quite famously, one of those films that questions the very legitimacy of auteur filmmaking. \\xa0We\\u2019re joined by recurring guest and friend of the podcast Max Rieger to wrestle with this very question. \\xa0And not all of us agree with one another. \\xa0Unless we\\u2019re talking about the casting of Isabelle Huppert; we all think she\\u2019s perfect in the film.
