Jean-Pierre Melville is considered to be a pioneer of cinema, a filmmaker that was true to his style, a director that had complete control over his art. This month's program, featuring seven of Melville’s films, is a wonderful opportunity to experience the works of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
A German officer lives with a rural family in Nazi-occupied France. The tenants listen in silence as he speaks of his feelings, music, the War and his love for France. Screened with 24 Hours in the Life of a Clown (18 min.).
Crime film mastermind Jean-Pierre Melville presents one of his most renowned films, about Bob Montagné, a reformed ex-con who plans the ultimate heist on a highly secured casino. An enthralling film, combining poetry and toughness.
A cold-hearted hit man finds himself in an ongoing nightmare with the gangsters who hired him and the police on his tail. Jean-Pierre Melville’s celebrated masterpiece, starring Alain Delon in one of the greatest roles of his career.
An ex-con tries to join his old gang, which now includes a police snitch. Sucked into a whirlwind of suspicion, the gangsters take extreme action. An exemplary homage to American Film Noir, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo.
A recently released convict, an alcoholic former policeman and a fugitive convict plan a jewelry heist. Gangster movie whiz Melville concocts an electrifying, yet subtle philosophical allegory. Starring Alain Delon and Yves Montand.
The story of the illicit love between a young war widow and an open-hearted priest in a small French village during the Nazi occupation. A masterpiece by Jean Pierre Melville, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Emmanuelle Riva.
In his most personal, and perhaps greatest film, Jean-Pierre Melville follows an underground, anti-Nazi group during the days of the French Resistance. A realistic, meticulous masterpiece starring Lino Ventura and Simone Signoret.
