(Jean-Pierre Melville, France 1962, 108 min., French with subtitles, 35mm)
Doulos is French gangster talk for a squealer, and Jean-Paul Belmondo plays Silien, a hood who just may be the stool pigeon responsible for a heist gone bad. Interrogated by the police and hunted by the underworld, Silien remains an enigma to the other characters and the audience until the film’s final moments. Filled with heart-stopping twists and thrills, this jazzy and enormously stylish French thriller is the latest from Rialto Pictures, who last year re-released Melville’s Army of Shadows.
