SORCERER may be William Friedkin’s (The Exorcist, The French Connection) most underrated cinematic achievement. A reimagining of The Wages of Fear with a New Hollywood sheen, the film follows four desperate fugitives seeking refuge in a Latin American village as they are tasked with transporting two trucks across the jungle. The catch — the trucks are filled with highly explosive nitroglycerin. A truly nihilistic journey into the heart of darkness makes each bump in the road an anxiety inducing experience. In English w/ some subtitles.
