What Le Samouraï Is About
Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 film follows a hired killer who works alone. He is seen at a killing. Both the police and his employers are after him. The film reduces dialogue to a minimum; the narrative makes his repeated, ritual movements its real subject. Alain Delon leads. The colour palette was deliberately drained. It influenced later crime cinema widely. Who it's for: those who like cold, formal crime films. Who it's not for: viewers expecting action and explanation; the film is nearly silent.
