Le Cercle Rouge (1970)
Written and directed
by Jean-Pierre Melville this film stars Alain Delon, Bourvil, Gian
Maria Volonte and Yves Montand. A man just released from prison meets
up with an escaped convict and plans a heist.
It may take a while
for this film to get moving but it is a good slow burning crime film
that builds up to an impressive robbery sequence. Much like Le
Samourai (1967) there is minimal dialogue and the script focuses on
the nuts and bolts of the action. The silent robbery sequence is
really impressive and while this film is not to everyone's taste it
is a really well made film.
4/5
