Episode 27- Sorcerer (1977‪)‬ Film Gold

Antony and returning guest Luke Thompson
of ‘Luke’s English Podcast’ tackle William Friedkin's underrated 1977 thriller, starring Roy Scheider. This film wasn't a success in its day but has been reassessed over the decades and could now be considered a 'hidden masterpiece'. The plot is very simple but the film is marvellously evocative, and the production of the film is a story in itself...

 

Hope you enjoy it!
