Question: Are the directors of both films Sorcerer (Film) and The Flight Of The Phoenix (1965 Film) from the same country?

<P0-S0> Michael Luciano (May 2, 1909 – September 15, 1992) was an American film and television editor with about forty feature film credits and many additional credits for television programs. <P0-S1> From 1954 to 1977, Luciano edited 20 (nearly all) of the films directed, and often produced, by Robert Aldrich. <P0-S2> Aldrich was a prolific and independent maker of popular films "who depicted corruption and evil unflinchingly, and pushed limits on violence throughout his career. <P0-S3> " Their early collaboration, the film noir "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955), was entered into the US National Film Registry in 1999; the unusual editing of the film has been noted by several critics. <P0-S4> Luciano's work with Aldrich was recognized by four Academy Award nominations, for "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" (1964), "The Flight of the Phoenix" (1965), "The Dirty Dozen" (1967), and "The Longest Yard" (1974). <P0-S5> The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences never recognized Aldrich himself. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Flight of the Phoenix is a 1965 American drama film starring James Stewart, produced and directed by Robert Aldrich, and based on the 1964 novel" The Flight of the Phoenix" by Elleston Trevor. <P1-S1> The story describes a small group of men struggling to survive their aircraft's emergency landing in the Sahara Desert, and stars Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch, Hardy Krüger and Ernest Borgnine. <P1-S2> The ensemble cast includes Ian Bannen, Ronald Fraser, Christian Marquand, Dan Duryea and George Kennedy as other passengers on the aircraft. <P1-S3> Though the film was a failure at the box office, it has since gained a large following. <SEP> <P2-S0> Sorcerer is a 1977 American thriller horror film directed and produced by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. <P2-S1> The second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 French novel" Le Salaire de la peur", it has been widely considered a remake of the 1953 film" The Wages of Fear". <P2-S2> Friedkin, however, has disagreed with this assessment. <P2-S3> The plot depicts four outcasts from varied backgrounds meeting in a South American village, where they are assigned to transport cargoes of aged, poorly kept dynamite that is so unstable that it is' sweating' its dangerous basic ingredient, nitroglycerin." Sorcerer" was originally conceived as a side- project to Friedkin's next major film," The Devil's Triangle", with a modest US$ 2.5 million budget. <P2-S4> The director later opted for a bigger production, which he thought would become his legacy. <P2-S5> The cost of" Sorcerer" was earmarked at$ 15 million, escalating to$ 22 million following a troubled production with various filming locations — primarily in the Dominican Republic—and conflicts between Friedkin and his crew. <P2-S6> The mounting expenses required the involvement of two major film studios, Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, with both studios sharing the U.S. distribution and Cinema International Corporation being responsible for the international release. <P2-S7> The film gained mixed to negative critical reception upon its release. <P2-S8> Its domestic( including rentals) and worldwide gross of$ 5.9 million and$ 9 million respectively did not recoup its costs. <P2-S9> A considerable number of critics, as well as the director himself, attributed the film's commercial failure to its release at roughly the same time as" Star Wars", which instantly became a pop- culture phenomenon. <P2-S10> The film has enjoyed a critical re-evaluation, and some critics have lauded it as an overlooked masterpiece, perhaps" the last undeclared[ one] of the American'70s". <P2-S11> Director Friedkin considers" Sorcerer" among one of his favorite works, and the most personal and difficult film he has made. <P2-S12> Tangerine Dream's electronic music score was also acclaimed, leading the band to become popular soundtrack composers in the 1980s. <P2-S13> After a lengthy lawsuit filed against Universal Studios and Paramount, Friedkin started supervising a digital restoration of" Sorcerer", with the new print premiering at the 70th Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2013. <P2-S14> Its remastered home video release on Blu-ray came out on April 22, 2014. <SEP> <P3-S0> William Friedkin( born August 29, 1935) is an American film and television director, producer and screenwriter closely identified with the" New Hollywood" movement of the 1970s. <P3-S1> Beginning his career in documentaries in the early 1960s, he is perhaps best known for directing the action thriller film" The French Connection"( 1971) and the supernatural horror film" The Exorcist"( 1973), the former of which won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director. <P3-S2> The latter also earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director. <P3-S3> His other films include the pioneering queer drama" The Boys in the Band"( 1970), the suspense thriller" Sorcerer"( 1977), the controversial crime film" Cruising"( 1980), the action thriller" To Live and Die in L.A."( 1985), the psychological horror film" Bug"( 2006), and the dark comedy" Killer Joe"( 2011). <SEP> <P4-S0> Robert Burgess Aldrich( August 9, 1918 – December 5, 1983) was an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. <P4-S1> His notable credits include" Vera Cruz"( 1954)," Kiss Me Deadly"( 1955)," The Big Knife"( 1955)," Autumn Leaves"( 1956)," Attack"( 1956)," What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"( 1962)," Hush ...
