After more than 12 years of doing this podcast, it was high time for us to review something by French director Jean-Pierre Melville. Le Samourai was his (and his star, Alain Delon's) homage to '40s Hollywood noir. This crime classic is about Delon's passive hitman, who's either too cool for school...or just doesn't care. In this one-Ryan show, the talk gets into relating to Delon's loner mindset and solo lifestyle, although not so much his sparse apartment, his constant smoking or his work as a contract killer. Or having a chirpie bird for a roommate. The ending is puzzling...but it might be more understandable when you remember the code of an actual samurai. So put on your white gloves, pull out your heater and prepare for episode #668 of Have You Ever Seen. Melville's film didn't predate the French New Wave, but he himself did. He, Godard, Truffaut, all of 'em could no doubt have been even more prolific back in those days if they had Sparkplug Coffee.

When we're backpacking across the old countries for September's theme of EUROPEAN VACATION we gotta stop and sample some of that fine French excellence that Orson Welles so drunkingly told us about. We're playing it cool with today's discussion of our second ever Jean-Pierre Melville movie for the show and it's his swaggiest by far. We're talking “Le Samouraï” from 1967 starring Alain Delon, Francois Perier, Cathy Rosier and more. Delon plays a cold-as-ice hitman who lives by a personal code of solitude. When an employer turns on him he keeps his contracts while plotting revenge for the betrayal even while knowing that half the police in Paris are on his trail. Why did that piano playing woman not sell him out? How does she know these dead men? What is this final contract for? A defining feature in French cinematic style. Do yourself a favor and take this one in. It's on MAX last we checked.

A Vakfolt podcast tizenötödik évadjában olyan fajsúlyos vakfoltokat pótolunk, amelyek a nemzetközi filmes világból származnak, azaz sem nem angol nyelvűek, sem nem magyarnyelvűek. Az évad nyitóepizódjában a nemrég elhunyt Alain Delonra emlékezünk. Jean-Pierre Melville Le Samourai (A szamuráj) című filmjét elemezzük, amelyben Delon ikonikus új karakter-archetípust teremtett meg a szótlan bérgyilkos figurájával. A beszélgetés során a film jelentőségéről, Melville és Delon életéről is esik szó, valamint Melville szerepéről a francia új hullámban. Kiemeljük a film atmoszféráját, Melville rendezői stílusát és a főszereplő, Jef Costello karakterének ábrázolását. Ha tetszett az adásunk, támogass bennünket a Vakfolt Extrával!

Welcome to the finale of our petit français mini-series, and we're going out with a bang! It's one of the biggest blueprint movies out there that firmly established the idea of the "cool" assassin, it's Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 crime masterpiece: LE SAMOURAIWe've seen it all before: the taciturn, lone wolf assassin who is a perfect precision instrument has a hit go bad, his employer betrays him, and the police are on his tail. But this is the one that set the template! We're talking all parts of Melville's style, from the trenchcoat uniform and the quiet protagonist, to the otherworldly qualities that push it into the the sligthly surreal.Plus, it's a grand opportunity to finally delve into one of Nick's favourite topics: Jean-Pierre Melville's insane personal history.

Along with the new Keanu Reeves action bonanza, we take a look at a couple of earlier Keanu titles with themes that resonate in the John Wick series - Johnny Mnemonic and 47 Ronin - plus some films that are clear influences on the Chad Stahelski Wickiverse, like Melville's Le Samourai, The Tale of Zatoichi, Bullitt, In the Line of Duty IV (featuring John Wick 4's Donnie Yen) and The Man From Nowhere.

They explore Jean-Pierre Melville's influential Le Samourai, and Julian Schnabel's malickian biopic of Van Gogh's final years in At Eternity's Gate. The contrasting views of the world in these films make it hard for Gavin and Ruby to decipher the true meanings behind the movies.

It's 1967, and the film world is about to be conquered by the New Hollywood: a new generation of young American actors and directors, influenced by the French New Wave, galvanized by tumultuous cultural and political movements, and liberated by the collapse of the stifling Hays code. This year, "the curve comes to reassert itself over the straight line," as the critic Philip Kemp said about "Playtime": norms and mores are violated, elites are exposed, marriages are exploded, weddings are disrupted, mud and blood are splattered, and structures fall. And after all that, we're left with five indelible films: which one comes out on top?Join Rachel Schaevitz, Aaron Keck, and special guest Beverly Gray (author of "Seduced by Mrs. Robinson") as they discuss the year in cinema, the curve, the line, fedoras, fantasies, squibs, plastics, feminism, antifeminism, and the stunning rise of Dustin Hoffman - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert panel votes) to identify the best film of 1967.The nominees are Belle de Jour, Bonnie & Clyde, The Graduate, Playtime, and Le Samourai. Who wins the Moonlight?

"What kind of man are you?" So asks one of the people who interact with Jef Costello, existential assassin in Jean Pierre-Melville's Le Samurai (1967). Mike and Dan try to answer this question by comparing Jef to Richard Stark's serial thief Parker (and subject of John Boorman's Point Blank) and a few other figures. Melville's masterpiece uses what Dan calls a "symphony of silence" to generate real tension until the final moments, in which Jef finds himself as another performer in the nightclub where the plot began.

We don't want to spoil anything, but: We've got some good movies to talk about this week! First, it's Robert Eggers' "The Northman," which is about, and maybe for, Vikings. Then it's the Nicolas Cage-playing-Nicholas Cage meta comedy "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." Then, in our Reboot, we discuss the 1967 classic "Le Samourai."

Get your angst on, keep your caged bird fed, we're talking Melville's Le Samourai (with a HUGE hilarious mistake in the middle you'll want to hear)
We return for a look at the life and work of Jean-Pierre Melville (1917-1973), a beloved French director, screenwriter, and occasional actor who helmed the classics Le Silence de la Mer, Les Enfants Terribles, Leon Morin - Pretre, Le Doulos, and Le Samourai. After serving in the French Resistance during World War II, Melville returned to his native Paris to live out his dream of making films and was the only French filmmaker of his era to own his own studio. A cinephile with encyclopedic knowledge and an undying love of American film noir, Melville created a singular, intimate Paris underworld of cops and crooks, all while developing a style that became a forebear of the French New Wave. Kisses many.
What Doth Process? SSDF inquires. Guest Sophia Dunn-Walker helps answer - through analysis of two more films: Le Samourai and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. We're talking car theft, Paris in November, how a movie about an insane person revenge-murdering a bunch of mobsters is one of the sweetest, calmest movies ever - but mostly, just lusting after Alain Delon.
A very fun Jean-Pierre Melville film causes us to reconsider how we've viewed the director and his works in the past. Le doulos is a comedy. It must be. Did we make a mistake in not interacting with Le Samourai as parody? Probably not.
The community has spoken, this Month's Movie of the Month was Le Samourai, the one blindspot on Richard's list of contenders and a film that was new to most of the guests as well. Come and hear what we all thought of this highly regarded French Crime film. It's as stylish as hell and the movie is pretty good too.
This episode, Stephen and Albert unpick and evaluate two 60s classics - one from France and one from Japan. This time you will get utter gushing about one film and a muted response about the other... But which way round is it? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"He's a lone wolf." "He's a wounded wolf; now there will be a trail. He must be disposed of quickly." French director Jean-Pierre Melville may not be known to modern audiences, but in France in the 1960's he was a true popular and independent filmmaker, two things that could paradoxically spell success for a director at that time and place. "Le samourai" (1967) features nary a samurai (nor anything else Japanese, for that matter). It's about a hitman named Jef who finds himself the target of a client after completing a job for him. A thriller with obvious neorealist influences, it's a tight portrait of a lonely professional with bare necessities...and a twist ending! Have a question or comment for the host?
