Le Samourai

Jean-Pierre Melville (director)
Alain Delon (starring)

N.p. N.p., 1967. Collection of 8 borderless reference photographs from the French release of the 1967 film.

Arguably Jean-Pierre Melville's crowning achievement (though we feel there are no low points among his crime films), wherein Delon plays an icy hitman who is utterly anonymous, living alone in a single bedroom apartment with only a small bird in a birdcage for company. Things are fine, and then he meets a woman.

9.5 x 8 inches. Near Fine.

Criterion Collection 306. Buss, French Film Noir. Ebert I. Grant France. Spicer France.
