(Jean-Pierre Melville, France 1970, 140 min., French with subtitles, 35mm)

In another classic Melville gangster saga, Alain Delon, Gian Maria Volontè, and Yves Montand play a criminal trio masterminding a jewel heist. Austerely stylish, Melville’s wonderfully tense and philosophical film opens with a Buddhist aphorism about fate binding two men to meet again, and ends with a police chief pronouncing all men ultimately guilty.
