Great Banjo's of Fire

I just got this out again. Hadn't seen it for about ten years and had forgotten much of it. Sure, the vivid and horrific 'Squeal like a pig' scene had stuck with me, but others like the terrific 'Duelling Banjo' scene at the beginning had not. And i'd forgotten how Reynolds's macho man is forced to take a back seat and let Voights scared (and more relatable) everyman take over hero. This is Boorman's finest film, a work of a director at the top of his game, and a highly original story that'll scare people out of taking a trip off the beaten path in redneck middle America. A frank, honest and disturbing tale of a canoe trip gone very wrong, with a kickarse banjo soundtrack.
