Can’t stop thinking about @WilliamFriedkin’s Kyoto experience in Leap of Faith. His revelation at the zen garden is a notion my mind often dwells upon when it’s at rest: We’re alone.

Don’t miss ‘Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist’, the compelling new documentary from Alexandre O. Philippe, streaming now on AMC’s Shudder channel. Absolutely fascinating! @Shudder @AMC_TV #TheExorcist @WilliamFriedkin

What a great story. Friedkin is my favourite director. As you say about Cruising, he gets to the truth of the subject. My dad was a cop and said The French Connection was the most accurate cop film because it included things like freezing to death on surveillance.

Not seen Easterhead for so long. I watched a 4K version of Sorcerer when it was rereleased. That is some film. Half the movie spent clenching my teeth and forgetting to breathe. I wonder if the 70s was the high watermark of moviemaking?

In 1972, @WilliamFriedkin won the Oscar for directing THE FRENCH CONNECTION, only to begin filming THE EXORCIST in August that same year. Guess how many steps make up the famous ‘Exorcist steps’....? That’s right — 72! Coincidence?? (Bet @KermodeMovie didn’t know that)
