Jean-Pierre Melville's hugely influential film remains a cornerstone of the crime genre. Recently released from prison, thief Corey (Alain Delon) finds himself caught up in a dangerous triangle with a mysterious woman (Gian Maria Volonte) and an ex-cop with some issues of his own (Yves Montand). Melville's film is the epitome of cool, with moody cinematography and stellar set design. Featuring another standout performance from Delon, LE CERCLE ROUGE is a bona fide crime classic.
Cast:
"Melville's superb thriller combines craftsmanship and narrative drive with a fatalism and deadpan humour that seem specifically French."
