Sorcerer (1977) - William Friedkin - Cinematic Flashback Podcast
In this episode of the Cinematic Flashback Podcast, Chuck and co-host Matt Sargent take a deep dive into Sorcerer (1977), directed by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. Often overshadowed by Star Wars upon its release, Sorcerer has since been rediscovered as a masterful, tension-filled journey into desperation and survival. Chuck and Matt discuss Friedkin’s uncompromising vision, the film’s nerve-wracking set pieces, and how its reputation has evolved over time. They also explore how Sorcerer fits into the gritty, auteur-driven cinema of the 1970s and whether its raw intensity still resonates today in the Did It Groove or Lose Its Beat? segment. Tune in for an in-depth conversation on one of the most gripping films of the decade.
