Le Samouraï (1967)

Director:   Jean-Pierre Melville
Writers:    Jean-Pierre Melville, Georges Pellegrin, 
Language: French
Alain Delon stars as Jeff Costello, a cold calculating contract killer, in this minimalist master piece from Jean-Pierre Melville. Jeff is taken in by the police as a suspect after a murder he committed. But he is let off because of an alibi is established and a pianist deliberately choose to not identify him. He is then pursued by the police who are not convinced and his client who want to eliminate him. We realize as the film goes on that the plot is not as simple as we initially thought and there is great set piece in Paris where he is tailed by the Police.

Rating: 4.5/5
