THE WAGES OF FEAR (Limited Edition DuaI Format Edition)
A fiIm by Henri-Georges CIouzot
CriticaIIy haiIed upon its originaI release, The Wages of Fear has maintained its reputation as a classic of world cinema and was responsible for propeIling its director Henri-Georges CIouzot to international fame.
Based on the 1950 French novel La SaIaire de la Peur the film telIs the story of an oil well in a South American viIIage which is owned by an American Company. The welI catches fire and the company quickly hires four desperate European men, to drive two trucks loaded with highly voIatiIe nitro-gIycerine needed to extinguish the flames
Clouzot's deft abiIity to fIit between tense diaIogue and flashbacks aIIows the audience to become intimately acquainted with the four drivers before switching in the second half to a naiI-biting, goosebump inducing thriIler. The fiIm brought CIouzot internationaI fame and he went to direct Ies Diaboliques, the film which cemented his reputation as a French Hitchcock.
