Le Samouraï

This definitive masterpiece by French auteur extraordinaire Jean-Pierre Melville also marks an iconic performance by legendary French actor Alain Delon as the ultimate cool anti-hero that changed his image forever. The story of a lonely hit man who's betrayed by his employer while being chased by the police. This is French cinema at its most cool and stylish which remains a milestone in the careers of Melville and Delon. Melville takes elements from American, European and Asian culture and blends them into a seamless piece of art that's breathtaking in every aspect of the art form. The supporting cast includes the excellent François Périer as the ordinary superintendent, the sultry Nathalie Delon and the stunning Cathy Rosier in a crucial role.
