1967: Le samouraï (a.k.a. The Godson)

Melville's 1967 film about a killer who is chased by both the police and his clients, but, strangely, never seems to even think of leaving Paris, is wildly famous for its style. The cinematography is very nice indeed, but then, it's nothing spectacular, and the plot is a bit meagre. Overrated. (6.5)
