LE SALAIRE DE LA PEUR (WAGES OF FEAR) |
In French with English subtitles. REVIEWS Hitch's bomb-under-the-table suspense formula burnished to an expert sheen. - Joshua Rothkopf (Time Out New York) A significant influence on Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, this grueling pile driver of a movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. - Jonathan Rosenbaum (Chicago Reader) |
In a squalid South American oil town, four desperate men sign on for a suicide mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves. The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense, Henri-Georges Clouzot. Shown with Mission: Appo11o by Daniel Jenny & Stéphane Guenin. Saturday, June 22 - 8:15pm |
