The fondest of farewells to #WilliamFriedkin. The fearless 'New Hollywood' filmmaker, screenwriter and documentarian brought peerless intensity to an eclectic seven decade career. Beyond the iconic #TheFrenchConnection (1971) and #TheExorcist (1973) were subversive, often brilliant (and uncommercial) features like #Sorcerer (1977), #Cruising (1980), #Rampage (1987)...

Watched #TheFrenchConnection and was disappointed. My favourite scene was the subway-door-and-umbrella sequence. It’s pretty close to perfect. Behind this is the car chase. Otherwise the movie was a rather unremarkable affair stained with plot holes. The text cards at the end really tanked the movie for me. I rather have the uncertainty besides this it reminded me of (German) scripted reality. #cinemastodon #movies #filmhistory #FilmMastodon #film #mastomovies #filmbubble #FilmMastodon #cinema

Antes de #elexorcista y de #sorcerer , #WilliamFriedkin ganó su 1er Oscar con #TheFrenchConnection. Basada en un caso real, la obsesión de un policía por capturar a un narco se convierte en una cinta de persecuciones trepidantes y un ritmo tan rápido que, si parpadeas, te la pierdes.
