Stone cold masterpiece. I first saw it on a crappy DVD transfer over ten years ago and I still loved it. When it had a proper blu-ray release a few years after it blew me away. Caught a screening at the Alamo soon after...wow...wow...wow...watching it in a theater magnified the tension and suspense to heart palpation levels. I don't know which is his masterwork 'The Exorcist or Sorcerer.' I literally go back and forth.
My choice for the Roy Scheider part instantly goes to Charles Bronson. Would've crushed it.
This one-sheet hangs in the stairwell up to my office. I was struck by the poster in almost exactly the same way you described. And I also took years until I finally was able to view it. As much as I love Clouzot's "Wages of Fear", this version will always have a its stranglehold on it's place in my Library.
For my birthday this year, I decided I would start catching up with films from my birth year I hadn’t seen yet. Maybe because it was on my brain from you programming it for Toshi’s birthday, I started with “Sorcerer,” and boy do I regret nothing of that choice. This is insane and visceral at the heart of the film and really harrowing to experience, and it was a riveting movie to watch. It also gave me a new soundtrack to obsess over for months on end with that Tangerine Dream score. I loved it.
