POPSLast night I watched Le Samourai. It was really beautifully filmed and art directed. Everything from the watercolor walls to the dichotomy of Jef's apartment to the police station was perfect. I still think Le Doulos is my favorite Melville film even though this has been pronounced his best film. The one thing I love about Melville is his ability to tear apart conventions of what you expect to happen in films. He loves killing off his main characters and in those moments you are truly shocked. Also, Delan's minimalism in this film is so interesting. His acting is so well crafted and combined with the minimalism of the actual script parts of this movie begin to feel like moving pieces of artwork. highly recommended. Go rent Le Doulos too if you can. Why don't people make movies like this anymore??? Melville says that he watched a minimum of 5 movies a day to craft his art. wow.
