Le Samourai (Widescreen) R1 (Criterion Collection Region 1) - Melville, Jean-PierreReleasedatum: 25 oktober 2005
In a career-defining performance, Alain Delon plays a contract killer with samurai instincts. A razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture—with a liberal dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythology—maverick director Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterpiece Le Samouraï defines cool.
