Review of Le Samouraï (1967) by Nicholas S — 16 Dec 2009
Despite being very deliberately paced, rigidly minimalist Le Samourai still manages to hold your attention until the very end. Alain Delon's stoic maybe-sociopathic portrayal of Parisian assassin Jef Costello could make for one of the just down-right coolest characters in cinema history.
The film's bleak imagery is a nice contrast with the jazzy score.
