None escape physical or moral injury. “Its broad and harmonious structure, novelistic depth, lyricism, and emotional power make The Deer Hunter one of the most striking films of the 1970s and a testament to a betrayed generation.” (Positif) “The meticulous work of De Niro establishes an intelligent base for the rest of the cast, a rare ensemble of peers awesome in their presentation of the ordinary and the extraordinary.” (Orlando Sentinel) “Moral imperatives replace historical analysis, social rituals become religious sacraments, and the sado-masochism of the central (male) love affair is icing on a Nietzschean cake.” (Time Out)
