263: Make/Remake The Wages of Fear and Sorcerer

Make/Remake examines how two films that share the same story. Not to say what film was better or worse, but how they are similar and different while following the same arcs. This time we are looking at the 1953 Henri-Georges Clouzot film ⁠The Wages of Fear⁠ and the 1977 William Friedkin film ⁠Sorcerer⁠. Check out our past ⁠Make/Remake⁠‘s for more great comparison episodes and see the ⁠Letterboxd⁠ list.
