Show notes
Certainly not the arty-ist neo-noir ever made, but it's certainly the most Jean-Pierre Melville-ian neo-noir ever made. And that's more than enough to make this one of the most widely-beloved of all Criterion films. Alain Delain (who sadly passed away between our record and the release date for this episode) brought Tokyo-cool, Parisian romanticism, and American grime to this epitome of the "cool assassin" film.
