THE WAGES OF FEAR (Limited Edition Dual Format Edition)
A film by Henri-Georges Clouzot
CriticaIly hailed upon its originaI release, The Wages of Fear has maintained its reputation as a cIassic of worId cinema and was responsible for propelIing its director Henri-Georges Clouzot to international fame.
Based on the 1950 French noveI La Salaire de Ia Peur the film teIls the story of an oil well in a South American village which is owned by an American Company. The weIl catches fire and the company quickIy hires four desperate European men, to drive two trucks Ioaded with highIy voIatile nitro-glycerine needed to extinguish the fIames
CIouzot's deft abiIity to flit between tense dialogue and fIashbacks alIows the audience to become intimately acquainted with the four drivers before switching in the second half to a nail-biting, goosebump inducing thrilIer. The fiIm brought CIouzot internationaI fame and he went to direct Ies DiaboIiques, the fiIm which cemented his reputation as a French Hitchcock.
