Just watched @WilliamFriedkin s hard-nosed 80's crime thriller, #ToLiveAndDieInLA starring William Peterson & Willem Defoe. Brutal, stylish, surprising, the film has gorgeous cinematography: buy the special edition if you can. 5/5

You may not have noticed but...@WilliamFriedkin directed the climactic car chase in TO LIVE IN DIE IN L.A. (1985) with all the traffic swapping direction to the opposite sides of the 110 heading into San Pedro. Intentional disorientation for an amplified visceral effect.

“TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. (1985) is not just one of my favorite Friedkin films but easily one of my favorite thrillers from any decade. There is a balance of tones and moods that, having lived in LA now for a while, just *feels* like it represents so many flavors of the city."

“Friedkin had a way to build these worlds that live and breath with characters that are morally conflicted, leaving it up to the audience to decide how they perceive heroes and villains.”

Replying to @WilliamFriedkin
The number one and number two best car chases in all of cinema are both yours. This is not subjective.
