Tangerine Dream - Sorcerer:

Some moggers out there LOVE the soundtrack, and/or the film "Sorcerer" itself! So let`s go down the memory lane... Movie from 1977, scored during Tangerine Dream`s most creative period. The line up of Baumann-Froese-Franke, is by many people regarded as the best in TD`S history. So enjoy this post and music! .. Following the blockbuster success of The Exorcist, director William Friedkin had the clout to make any film he wanted, and he nearly ruined his career making Sorcerer, an ill-fated remake of the classic French thriller The Wages of Fear. Given the big-budget treatment that Friedkin could command, the original plot remains unchanged: In an unnamed Latin American country, Roy Scheider leads a group of four fugitives who will earn their freedom if they can successfully transport truckloads of volatile nitroglycerine over treacherous terrain to extinguish a raging oil fire.

SORCERER MOVIE POSTER

The unstable explosives could prove deadly at any point of the journey, and numerous obstacles threaten the completion of the mission. Produced under rugged conditions in the jungles of the Dominican Republic, the film is visually impressive and contains intense moments of astonishing suspense, but the specter of the superior French version hangs over every scene. This version remains a folly of directorial ambition run amuck, but for the very same reason Sorcerer is a film that's hauntingly unforgettable, fueled by an atmosphere of dread and the forceful powers of nature. Presented in full-screen format on DVD, the film is aided immeasurably by Tangerine Dream's eerie electronic score.

Hammerogod says Oh....."Sorcerer" I can rattle on about this movie for hours. I won't do that now. What I will do is say that the music and the visuals constantly war for your attention...and both win. The movie is an under-rated masterpiece and the music is utterly awesome. "Wages of Fear" is a good film, and it has enough tension and dramatic content to make 2 movies. But "Sorcerer" is simply a trancendent bit of film-making. From beginning to the VERY end it captures you. And the music is able to keep pace with every turn. Watch it, and hang on.
