Wages of Fear (1953)

1950s nitroglycerin ravages South American forest in a moment of imperialistic terror on which angry petroholic pleasures rest--Angelenos shout, 'More blood for oil! More blood for oil!"--tracable back to post-Ottoman betrayal, Lawrence of Arabia, nineteenth century penetration of inscrutable Kafirs, The Man Who Would Be King, sixteenth century El Dorado driven madness, Aguirre, the Wrath of God.

Trucklust permits no escape from the misogyny of male bonding--whether mythopoetic Iron Johns, hyperretropuritan Promise Keepers, or late '90s Vegas partiers, Swingers to Very Bad Things. Don't hesitate to kick a pleading woman in the mud for a chance to hand roll French tobacco with your mec in the cab.
