Le Samouraï - the 1967 neo-noir crime thriller by Jean-Pierre Melville is quite arguably one of my favourite movies. Known to have sparked the lone-wolf archetype seen in other movies like Taxi Driver (1976), Nightcrawler (2014) or Drive (2011), Le Samouraï is a near perfect masterpiece- blending together a simple story through its crafty cinematography, brilliant background score and some amazing acting.

I watched this film in 1973 , I was 13 years old and it was hypnotic. I am now 63 and last year I bought the DVD for my collection it's rarely seen on T.V at all which I find quite odd. For me it's the best film I ever saw, a simple absorbing story brilliantly acted and stylishly shot. Jef is a hitman a loner and lonely except for his caged bird but despite his job we all are drawn to him . I would urge everyone to watch this movie it will stay with you as it has with me for 50 years.

Absolutely true. This film should never be missed. It's a great masterpiece.

Army of Shadows, Jean-Pierre Melville's film released in 1969 about the WWII French Resistance, uses the same dull blues and gray color pallet that Le Samourai uses.

@RegnaSaturna Год назад

One of my all time favourites too. Along with Le Cercle Rouge of course. It's strange, 55 years after its release it still keeps intriguing. Great analysis. Thank you.

Jean Pierre Melville was one of the emblematic filmmakers of the "French New-wave" making movies as the "Red circle" with Alain Delon and Yves Montand or even "Le Doulos" with the great Jean Paul Belmondo. He (re)created in France an atmosfere of the cop films as "Asphalt Jungle".. Le Samouraï based on the "japanese Ronins" The actress Cathy Rosier was charming.

@fabiengerard8142 4 месяца назад

🎬 Melville wasn't part of the Nouvelle Vague at all. Except JLG kind of paid homage to him in his legendary 1959 directorial debut, "Breathless", because he'd particularly praised as a critic Melville's atypical style in his latest movie, "Bob le Flambeur" -- partly a model for "Breathless". 👌🏻👌🏾👌

Please don’t use such distracting captions - they are totally unnecessary and spoil the beautiful visuals.

@kathrynj.hernandez8425 Год назад

They are useful, helpful for clarity when dialect gets in the way. These are not captions, they are subtitles.

@castelodeossos3947 9 месяцев назад

@@kathrynj.hernandez8425 Have read that Americans have an especial dislike for subtitles, which is why most Americans rarely have seen any foreign film. It is also why successful foreign films so often are remade in an American version. Subtitles don't bother me in the slightest. As for 'captions', please check Wiktionary and Fowler's Modern English Usage.

@cookieface80 Год назад

I thought it was average at best with poor pacing. The main character has to be worst hitman I've ever seen depicted in a film; He shoots someone in a crowded place with an unsilenced gun, walks out the front door in full view of everyone and then continues to wear the same outfit that he knows witnesses saw him wearing.

@StepbyStepPhotographyandVideo Год назад

Or he makes all those decisions hoping to come to his end

@cookieface80 Год назад

@@StepbyStepPhotographyandVideo Wasn't there a part where one of the people he works for tries to kill him and he wrestles the gun out of his hand? He probably should've just let himself get shot then and end the movie sooner.

@matsanw 6 месяцев назад

You're aware silencers are a movie trope that didn't even exist then, and that it's completely BS in real life, right? Still, the problem with the hit wasn't even the noise, but that someone unexpected showed up at the corridor. Still he had a tight alibi, and wasn't even wearing the coat when he was caught. The idea of him just let himself be shot is laughable since it would go against the whole point of the character's code of conduct. I don't know what's wrong with the pacing either, but oh well.

@cookieface80 6 месяцев назад

Just learn to enjoy the movie's style and neo-noir vibes. Don't have to think so deep. I swear you 'reddit reviewers' are one of the worst things to happen to cinema.
