Le Samourai(1967)

English title: The Godson

Director: Jean-Pierre Melville

Country: France

If you are not a fan of the thriller/neo noir genre, definitely watch this film. Still, if you are not a fan of the thriller/neo noir genre, go die.

"Le Samourai" bears hallmark to the fact that even a virtually plotless tale, with almost no dialogues, actions and drama can still make an absolute cracker of a film. Alain Delon mesmerizes us as the methodical, cunning, devoid of almost all human emotions and deadly assassin Jeff Costello. Jeff, indeed qualifies as the finest to have ever graced the screen. Melville with his meticulously measured sense of framing the shots, his absolute lack of hurriedness and direction which is minimalistic to the point of being sparse makes sure that we are in for the ride of our life.

So, just sit back and enjoy this classic. They just don't make them like this anymore.
