I noticed that it is actually only later in his career that Melville made his great classics ('Le cercle rouge', 'L’armée des ombres', 'Le samouraï') which I didn't have the pleasure to watch yet.

(BluR) Great text by Cocteau. Melville makes a lot with just pausing for allows Cocteau tex bright. Les enfants are really terrible, but most of all the girl Elisabeth. Paul the handsome is Cocteau´s favourite and he (and Melville) hast subtle homeerotic sequences...

"First viewing - April 21st This felt like a homework assignment. I was curious to check out another of Melville's films, but this one was tedious. I couldn't stand any of the characters, and the whole thing felt repetitive. The brother and sister argue and escalate things and then the scene is over and we get narration that's grating and keeps explaining things rather than letting us experience them or allowing the actors to emote. It took me longer than it should have to watch this because aft"
