- Sorcerer_(film) abstract "Sorcerer is a 1977 American existential thriller film directed and produced by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. The second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 French novel Le Salaire de la peur, it has been widely considered a remake of the first adaptation; the 1953 film The Wages of Fear; however, Friedkin himself has disagreed with this notion. The plot has four outcasts of varied backgrounds meeting in a South American village, where they are assigned as truck drivers to transport cargos of nitroglycerin.Sorcerer was originally conceived as a side-project to Friedkin's next major film, The Devil's Triangle, with a modest US$2.5 million budget. The director later opted for a bigger production, which he thought would become his legacy. The cost of Sorcerer was earmarked at $15 million, escalating to $22 million following a troubled production with various filming locations—primarily in the Dominican Republic—and conflicts between Friedkin and his crew. The film expenses required a co-production by two major film studios, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, with the former handling the U.S. distribution and the latter being responsible for the international release.The film gained mixed to negative critical reception upon its release. Its domestic (including rentals) and worldwide gross of $5.9 million and $9 million respectively did not recoup its costs. A considerable number of critics as well as the director himself attributed the film's commercial failure to the fact it was released at roughly the same time as Star Wars, which instantly became a pop-culture phenomenon. Some observers consider the success of Star Wars and the box-office failure of Sorcerer to be a starting point in the decline of the New Hollywood cinema movement and the beginning of a blockbuster-oriented era.In recent times, the film has enjoyed a resurgence of critical acclaim as several critics laud it as an overlooked masterpiece, perhaps "the last undeclared [one] of the American '70s."Director William Friedkin considers Sorcerer the favorite of his works, as well as the most personal and difficult film he has ever made. Tangerine Dream's Electronic music score was also acclaimed, leading the band to become popular soundtrack composers on the 1980s. After a lengthy lawsuit filed against Paramount and Universal Studios, Friedkin started supervising a digital restoration of Sorcerer, with the new print premiered at the 70th Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2013. Home video releases are also in the works and set to be released on April 14, 2014.".

- Sorcerer_(film) quote "In the bottomless silence. Without warning A curtain slowly ascends revealing A midnight dawn. A whisper of chill wind And white sun eclipsed by pale yellow moon. Rumor of distant thunder trembles along the edge of a galaxy Cascading down infinite corridors of burning mirrors reflecting and rereflecting momentous oceans of stampeding wild horses. Glass shatters, shrieks and spins away becoming clusters of starfall that scatter from hidden places. Pulsating. Relentless like a recurring nightmare. Centaurs throb within the blood crossing arteries of storming cavalries that crash though the top of your head Recycle and recur Again and again Reminding of white suns eclipsing oceans of stars shrieking through the midnight dawn. Never ending. Without warning.".
