Review of The Wages of Fear (1953) by Chris H — 20 Feb 2008
One of the greatest films ever made about the existential essense of the human condition. Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, this tale follows 4 dead end outcasts as they drive 2 trucks full of nitroglycerin up a treacherous mountain path to assist in putting out an oil fire.
Even at a length of over 3 hours this film keeps you glued to your seat as the men encounter obstacle after obstacle--the most dangerous being themselves--all in an attempt to hit the jackpot and escape their dead end lives.
