Leave your thoughts about Le Samouraï.
| CinapseEd TravisMinimal and breathtaking, Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai features an icy and smoldering lead performance from one of the most beautiful human beings to ever grace the big screen: Alain Delon. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsMelville's film had a major influence in Hollywood. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDragan AntulovOne of the better examples of genre cinema. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOne of the pleasures of Le Samourai is to realize how complicated the plot has grown, in its flat, deadpan way. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumLe samourai expresses a kind of loneliness to be sure, but it's that of a teenage male dreaming about Hollywood movies and their accoutrements -- penthouse apartments, acerbic cops, melancholy city streets, smoky card games, fancy jazz nightclubs. |
| Washington PostKenneth TuranAn austere poem of crime, Le Samourai manages to have a grip of an old-fashioned potboiler as well. Not a half-bad combination. |
| NewcityRay PrideWorking with and against genre conventions, Melville's movies are hushed, deadpan abstractions of space and gesture, restrained, refined, a palette reduced to essential colors and compositions. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaMelville's discipline in establishing patterns pays off handsomely when he breaks them. [Full review in Portuguese.] |
| Stream on DemandSean AxmakerAlain Delon is the coolest killer hit the screen, a film noir loner for the modern era, in Jean-Pierre Melville's austere 1967 French crime classic. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceAlain Delon, who was attacked by some narrow-minded reviewers in his day for being stiff, is perfectly cast here, displaying a cool, calm demeanor at first, then an equally calm desperation as the chase gets more intense. |
