Seminar: Sorcerer

University of Connecticut professor Justin Liberman, will introduce the film and share insights about the director and the storied history of its production.

William Freidkin pushed filmmaking to the absolute limits with his sensory overloading adaptation of the acclaimed French thriller Wages of Fear (1953). Entangled in legal issues for years, Sorcerer (1977) is an underseen hallmark of the New Hollywood Cinema of the 1970s and marks the theatrical debut of Tangerine Dream.
