ABOUT THE FILM: LE SAMOURAÏ, Dir. Jean-Pierre Melville, 105 Min, Janus Films, France/Italy Originally released October 25, 1967 In French with English subtitles. NOIR CITY climaxes with the West Coast premiere of a spectacular new restoration of Jean-Pierre Melville’s classic LE SAMOURAÏ, one of the director’s most perfectly realized works of existential coolness and dread. Alain Delon plays Jef Costello, a sleek and self-possessed assassin whose latest contract leaves him in a struggle for survival. Melville’s aesthetically calculated exercise in cinematic style is not only a tribute to the vintage crime and gangster movies he loved; it became a touchstone for subsequent generations of filmmakers. Gorgeously photographed by Henri Decaë in the most monochromatic color scheme ever, the film’s visual style and hypnotic rhythms achieves a state of Noir Nirvana. FORMAT: DCP
