(Le Salaire de la Peur)
Henri-Georges Clouzot, France/Italy 1953, 144’
                          
A spine-chilling tale about four down-and-outs in a sleazy South American town who agree to risk their lives transporting two lorries loaded with nitro-glycerine over treacherous roads to an oil field three hundred miles away. Gritty and full of suspense, Clouzot's masterpiece portrays the increasingly fraught relations between the greedy, disenchanted men.

The bfi & Tate: Kings of the Road film series is programmed to reflect themes in the Robert Frank: Storylines exhibition.
