“A defiant, mad gesture of a film that features some of the most exhilarating sequences in movie history.” -Sam Adams, The Dissolve

William Friedkin’s hothouse remake of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterpiece of suspense, The Wages of Fear, the misleadingly-titled Sorcerer is no magical adventure but rather an impossibly taut exercise in white-knuckle suspense. Roy Scheider (Jaws, The French Connection) stars as a two-bit criminal on the run from the mob in a small South American village who joins with three other expatriates with nothing to lose to drive a truck carrying highly explosive nitroglycerine over miles of hazardous terrain. The drivers will be handsomely paid — if they survive! Powered by Tangerine Dream’s pulsing synth score and featuring one of the most ambitious action sequences of all time, in which an explosives-loaded truck is driven over a rickety rope bridge during a torrential downpour, Friedkin’s film was a flop in its day but has gone on to be recognized by no less an authority on action cinema than Quentin Tarantino as one of the greatest films ever made.

This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s TAKE TWO series, where we show a great film and its equally excellent remake. See the unbearably suspenseful original, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s The Wages of Fear at 3:30 pm, just before Sorcerer.
