The chase
“‘The chase’ is the purest form of cinema,” William Friedkin writes in his memoir The Friedkin Connection, “something that can’t be done in any other medium, not in literature nor on a painter’s canvas.” Nobody films a chase scene quite like Friedkin — wild, potentially dangerous sequences that put the viewer right into the heart of the action. We’re not bystanders when watching a Friedkin chase; not removed, at a safe distance, looking on from an overpass or a sidewalk. We’re right there, in the thick of it, clutching onto the dashboard in the passenger seat as the filmmaker takes us on a trip through hell. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/william-friedkin-chase/
