Bob le Flambeur

The first masterpiece by French auteur Jean-Pierre Melville is also the first film of French New Wave that changed cinema forever. Taking cinema outside studios on actual locations and mixing professional actors with real people, Melville achieves authenticity to tell the story of a gambler and thief with class and style that remains a timeless classic. Bob, the high-roller is a gentleman gambler with a strict honor code who's lured back for a last score. A riveting story with turns and twists from the beginning till the end with fully developed characters that established Melville as a master who went on to deliver several classic films in an illustrious career.
