Le Samourai (1967)
Directed by
Jean-Pierre Melville this film stars Alain Delon, Francois Perier,
Nathalie Delon and Cathy Rosier. A cold, methodical hit man gets
caught between the police and the people that hired him.
Much like it's
protagonist the script of this film is cold and ambiguous using
minimal dialogue and leaving a lot to the interpretation of the
viewer. Most of the plot is fairly standard fair for the film noir
genre and while it pulls few surprises is well constructed. The
genius of this film comes in the execution which draws the viewer
into what would have been an otherwise plain film.
4/5
