The Wages of Fear / Le Salaire de la peur / France / Italy / 1953
There is likely no better generator of suspense than a truck with a full cargo of nitroglycerin en route across rural South America. Clouzot’s comparisons to Hitchcock (most of which are in reference to Diabolique) are entirely warranted, except in this case as his effort is not pronounced in genre mechanisms. The Wages of Fear is a remarkable filmmaking exercise, only appraising it as such diminishes its status as, arguably, the most suspenseful film ever made.
