“And this is one of the best titles of the Criterion Collection: Sorcerer by Bill Friedkin. This is the movie that almost stopped his career after the triumphs of The French Connection and The Exorcist... Went completely opposite direction, counterintuitive, and made the movie that is obsessive as much as the characters in the movie are obsessive... In order to create one of the most hallucinating representations of slow time, let’s say. Sorcerer, Bill Friedkin.”
