Review of Le Samouraï (1967) by Eric B — 26 Mar 2011
My first encounter with French director Jean-Pierre Melville, and I'm digging his style. Le Samourai is about as emotionless as films can get, but also intensely fascinating. I love the detail-oriented, quietly suspenseful approach - Le Samourai moves at an unhurried pace, letting the viewer soak in the fun film noir touches and tense unwinding of the plot.
The cinematography is also strikingly beautiful. Every shot reeks of perfectionism, and Melville's vision of Paris is unforgettable.
