In the latest episode of the FILMS I OWN BUT HAVEN'T WATCHED YET podcast, a special spin-off from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, I dive into another film from my ever-expanding DVD collection. This week, I randomly selected John Boorman's "Deliverance." Join me as I watch it for the first time and share my review!
"Deliverance" (1972) is a gripping adventure thriller directed by John Boorman, based on the novel by James Dickey. The film stars Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox as four city-dwelling friends who embark on a weekend canoe trip through the remote Georgia wilderness. Their journey takes a harrowing turn when they encounter hostile locals and are forced to confront the brutal realities of survival. Known for its intense performances, stark cinematography, and haunting musical score, "Deliverance" explores themes of man versus nature, violence, and the thin veneer of civilization. The film remains a powerful and provocative classic in American cinema.
