Le Samourai
11 years, 7 months ago at Sep 28 20:45

The movies are filled with beautiful killers and brooding, haunted men struggling with their past and present. But Alain Delon in Le Samourai puts practically all of them to shame. His performance is a master class in underplaying everything; he barely registers an emotion, keeping his cool poker face throughout the various twists and turns of the film. His character, Jef Costello,... read more
Hitman Jeff Costello is a perfectionist who always carefully plans his murders and who never gets caught. One night however, after killing a night-club owner, he's seen by witnesses. His efforts to provide himself with an alibi fail and more and more he gets driven into a corner.

Watched films in 2020 (97 movies items)"27.9. DVD Uusintakatselu. Jokunen cool tai "cool" rikoselokuva on tullut nähtyä, mutta harvassa ovat ne, jotka näin vaivattomasti pääsevät kokonaisvaltaisen cooliuden ytimeen. Hiljainen, minimalistinenkin, mestariteos ei tahdo päästää irti katselun jälkeenkään. Kameratyö ja vähäinen musiikki ovat kumpikin aivan saatanan mahtavaa. Yksinäisen palkkamurhaajan työ on yksinäistä, eikä tuolla ammatinvalinnalla loppukaan kauhean valoisa ole. Alain Delon kertoo eleettömyydellää"

Slant’s 100 Best Film Noirs of All Time (100 movies items)"Jean-Pierre Melville’s films celebrate code of conduct as a self-justifying reward—a notion that enjoys less currency in our self-absorbed present day. And so Le Samouraï is driven by the subterranean merger between Jef Costello (Alain Delon) and Melville’s working credos. Jef derives satisfaction from his sense of style, which fuses dandy poetry with a working man’s enjoyment of the quotidian. As played, or more accurately inhabited, by one of the most beautiful men in cinema, Jef wear"
