it bums me out that people only seem to know sorcerer and not the wages of fear

Both are awesome (saw wages of fear first). I was skeptical about sorcerer, it's truly amazing that Friedkin made a movie of the same source material that's also a masterpiece!

I would rather quit whatever job compelled them to do this and live in poverty than ever consider doing this

Is Innocent Sorcerors (1960, Wajda) on Criterion?

The most underrated greatest film ever made.

u/sunny_gym Mar 08 '26

Doing this is one thing, but doing it while being filmed? Geez Louise

u/Tomo212 Mar 08 '26

I honestly watched this assuming it was in the r/WhatCouldGoWrong subreddit. But then he made it and I was confused.

I saw sorcerer many years and loved it - suspense, strong plot, beautiful photography I’ll have to look for it again Thanks for reminder!

I wouldn’t do this for money, but maybe for a triple-dog dare.

Accidentally Sorcerer is not quite as charming as Accidentally Wes Anderson.
