Le Samouraï
Alain Delon plays Jef Costello, a contract killer with samurai instincts, in a performance that will go down in cinema history. Jef finds himself caught between a tenacious police detective and a merciless employer after carrying out a precisely planned hit, and not even his armor of fedora and trench coat can protect him. Le samoura, a maverick filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville's exquisitely styled masterwork of cool, is a razor-sharp mix of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture—with a hefty dosage of Japanese lone-warrior legend.
