William Friedkin’s fatalist masterwork,Sorcerer, is a movie about roads.

Whichever road you take, they all lead to the same place.

One wrong move one buckle or bend or pothole could turn these men to ash.

The way Friedkin shoots the men frenzied, sweaty, and so intense is immersive and uncomfortable to watch.

Friedkin and the crew had to meticulously construct this bridge over a real river to film the scene.

The Ferrari and Heat director (allegedly) had it out for the man behind The Exorcist.
