Review of Le Samouraï (1967) by Jim J — 17 Aug 2018
One of the finest films ever made for me. This is an incredibly moody drama by French master Jean Pierre Melville. It is a crime film on the surface about an assassin who lives according to a certain code.
Alain Delon is magnetic as the main character Jeff Costello. This film has inspired many modern great filmmakers and it is easy to see why. Fantastic tracking shots, great angles and an emphasis on mood.
It is a work of art. If you get an opportunity do see this film. One of the best examples of the French new wave. (Melville's Le Samourai is a haunting masterpiece).
