Sorcerer free on YouTube

I searched and didn’t see if this was discussed but William Friedkin’s Sorcerer is streaming on YT for free. It’s been hard to find on streaming and physical media in the past, just a PSA for those interested in one under looked gem from a great director.

One of the dumbest takes of all time by Friedkin was his insistence that Sorcerer was not a remake of Wages of Fear

He didn't really say that, did he? Because that is some serious gaslighting.

Sorcerer is really a terrible name, especially from the director of the Exorcist. I know it came out right after Star Wars and that killed its box office but the title sure didn’t help

From Wikipedia:
He’s gone on and on and on about how he felt like his movie is more emotionally thematic, etc, etc.
Google and you can find more. I still feel it’s kinda a bullshite point
quote:
It is the second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 novel The Wages of Fear, following the 1953 French-language film. Although it is often considered a remake of the earlier film,[13] Friedkin disagreed with this assessment, considering it a more faithful adaptation of the novel.[

Elite, elite set design and production design and direction.
The film, however, has absolutely no one to root for, and thats ultimately why it failed (beyond just the Star Wars aspect). Every character in the film is explicitly stated to be scumbags, criminals, and murderers, and they went to Hell on Earth for it.
From a technical and vibe standpoint though, it's an incredible feat of filmmaking, the likes we probably won't see again. Friedkin was just a badass.
Plus... fricking Tangerine Dream...

I watched it last night and noticed HG Clouzot the director of Wages of Fear is thanked in the credits

While this is true, none of them come out ahead anyway. Scheider's character is partially redeemed by completing the mission and then that final scene happens.
I think that's why Friedkin wanted to do the movie. He was a maverick so making a movie without a classical protagonist and having that final scene before the credits roll was right up his alley.
He doubled down on this in to Live and Die and LA.

These are two of my favorite movies. I very slightly prefer The Wages of Fear, partly because I saw it first and partly because of Vera Clouzot. She was sexy scrubbing the floors, lol.
The Wages of Fear had the old school black and white, interesting actors, great film pedigree. Sorcerer had color, killer Tangerine Dream music and the awesome bridge scene. Both great movies. All movie lovers should see both.

Awesome movie. Love the anti-hero aspect of it.
