Where is the texture, the capture of time occurring in todays film world that is found in this story of motion pictures. Yes, little violence. But the character, the behavior, is a violence of its own. A very deliberate violence. Beautiful. Truly great piece of Cinema.

It's a tough call of whether I like Le Samurai or Army of Shadows more. Haven't had a chance to watch my Criterion AoS yet, but it's high on my To Do list. Army of Shadows is amazing.

The Red Circle is the one of his I really want to see more than any other though. Kurt, have you watched Army of Shadows? It's been near the top of my list for a while now of films I need to watch, but... just haven't gotten around to it. Outside of Le Samourai, I'm actually pretty ignorant when it comes to Melville, which is odd since I love this so much, you'd think I'd have plowed through his filmography by now... but it's pretty much impossible since I canceled my Netflix a few months ago and with all these great movies coming out in theatres this time of year.

I'm 2 for 2 on these <i>From the Back Row</i>'s for you. I know it's a busy time of year for the theatre-goer, but have you gotten to The Great Silence yet, my good man? Oh man, Kurt.

A Criterion edition of La Samourai. A 30+ year belated release of Army of Shadows (which made may critics 2006 best of lists), and a glossy, stylish remake of Le Douxieme Souffle (I've seen it, it's good). I still can't believe I've not caught up with La Samourai, but you've added more pressure to do so! :) Melville has certainly been getting the recognition over the past couple of years.

Alain Delon is a superb actor. I think I've only seen him in this, The Leopard, and Rocco and His Brothers ...but his performance in Rocco is just absolutely breathtaking. And in this, it's nearly as good in a different sort of way.
