Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Susan Sontag's directorial debut DUET FOR CANNIBALS (1969) — a definition-defying, dryly funny psychological serio-comedy that began when a Swedish studio invited her to make a film in Stockholm.

Books to film 📚=🎞️
The Wages of Fear (1950) by Georges Arnaud was adapted (1977) as Sorcerer by William Friedkin. One of the major differences is the book spends time developing the background of players while the film uses short vignettes. Both delve into inescapable fate. 🚚💸😨
