Sorcerer. 1977. Friedkin’s 70s holy trinity w/ French Connection & Exorcist. The sequence w/ truck & draw bridge needs to be seen to be believed; taking 3 months to shoot amidst thunderstorms & malaria outbreaks. The trailer uses the Baseball Furies theme but Tangerine Dream did the score. #Filmsky - ThreadSky

Saw this for the first time a few months ago. Great film!

Wait, Tangerine Dream?
How have I missed this movie?

Very little of TDs music is used in the movie and at points it’s even mixed in with Keith Jarrett’s Spheres/Hymns part 3. Nevertheless it’s a great score

Had to visit a proctologist after watching this. Bit too clenched.

I hope it gets a decent release one day with some audio commentary — aside from the malaria outbreaks, some of the crew even got gangrene. The behind-the-scenes have to be extraordinary.

I've got UK Blu in a storage box somewhere so there'll be something solid on it. Poss the 40th anniversary. I'll let you know in 6 months.

Cool — provided the internet still exists

This movie is the greatest exercise in tension that I have ever watched.
