William Friedkin's film Sorcerer (1977) has been subject to a major
re-evaluation in the last decade. A dark re-imagining of the French
Director H.G. Clouzot's Le Salaire de la Peur (The Wages of Fear)
(1953) (based on George Arnaud's novel); the film was a major
critical and commercial failure on its initial release. Friedkin's
work was castigated as an example of directorial hubris as it was a
notoriously difficult production which went wildly over-budget. It
was viewed at the time as th end of New Hollywood. However, within
recent years, the film has emerged in the popular and scholarly
consciousness from enjoying a minor, cult status to becoming
subject to a full-blown critical reconsideration in which it has
been praised a major work by a key American filmmaker.
