“This is a film stripped back to its bare essentials, and Spielberg thrives in having to get creative to make each moment feel as fresh and energized as the last.” – Little White Lies

Hailed as one of the greatest television films ever made, Duel depicts a primal battle between a man and a semi-truck.

An undeniable precursor to Jaws, the deadly beast in Duel is a wheeled and rusted leviathan that rumbles along desert roads, coughs noxious fumes from its vertical exhaust pipe, and glares with split windshield at every vehicle in its path. Based on a short story by Richard Matheson, Duel finds extraordinary nuance, complexity, and suspense within a simple premise and with minimal dialog.

FACETS is screening the film’s theatrical cut (the version regularly released on home video), which includes many minutes of additional footage shot by Spielberg shortly after the original broadcast.

Steven Spielberg, United States, 1971, 90 minutes, 4K DCP
