Very nice video. Le Samourai's title in Greece is The Killer with an angel face. This is a classic film noir. They are called noir (black in french) for two reasons, because the subject of these films is very dark, meaning murder or kidnapping and literally because these films use dark lighting and black , grey or dark blue colors.

Sylkevä Magnum translates to *Spitting Magnum* Guess it fits better in this context since having the word "Blazing" directly translated would come off more as "Flaming/Glowing/Spicy"

This was a nice and thoughtful review/analysis of the splendid film. Keep up the good work! I've only just watched this film tonight and have been hunting for insightful analysis and commentary. Your video is one of the best I've found. After I post this, I'm going to try and find some compelling analysis of the meaning of Jef's bird, which I'm surprised to find most folks haven't focused on overmuch. It seems weighty to me that Jef decides to leave the house without taking the bird, when he has bound up the blonde man mobster and seemingly knows he is heading towards his death. Cheers.

I dont know how true it is but some people (Godard and Varda being two, I think) said that Melville took so much pride in being "American" and everything that most French new-wave directors weren't that they kinda underrated him and never thought about his movies too deeply until he passed, and when they re-watched them they noticed how subtle and how smart he was as a filmmaker. It's a shame he's still yet to get the same recognition as people like Demy, Tati, Truffaut or Godard because he's my favorite director of all-time

Another movie probably inspired "Drive": "Ho!" Made in 1968 by the french filmmaker Robert Enrico with the great John-Paul Belmondo (lifelong friend of Alain Delon, they played seven films together as "Borsalino", 1970). In "Ho !", J.P. Belmondo an ex car racer drives thieves and burglars with a car, driving thèm and helping thème to flee not to be caught by the police.. Along with Belmondo, Joanna Shimkus (an actress and top model from Lithuania) Is starring. She mostly had a "french carrier" ("Ho" with Jean-Paul Belmondo, "the Adventurers" with Alain Delon and Lino Ventura (1967).. Joanna Shimkus after lived in the US and married Sydney Pottier! They had several children.. She Is about 80 years old now. François de Roubaix was a very talentuous composer! He composed the Music of "La Scoumoune" (1972) with Jean-Paul Belmondo and the beautiful Claudia Cardinale and also other soundtracks. He unfortunately died at the age of 35 if I'm not mistaken in a tragic car accident in the mid 70's..

You should check out Pang Ho-Cheong's "You Shoot, I Shoot". Bart (the main character played by Eric Kot) is a big fan of Alain Delon and based his life on Jef Costello. The very first scene is basically a word for word remake/parody of an early scene in Le Samouraï. Only, it's said in an exchange of Cantonese and Mandarin. 🤣🤣🤣

It is impossible today to make a film like that, Jeff Castello nobody knows, in fact for Jeff the money has no value if we look at the details of the film he laughed at the tickets he is there to die as soon as he saw the pianist not resembling others and he can trust her it was a rare value in Jeff's nihilism world but he chose his way of showing her a human value outside of materialism in society. is to say suicide, like the samurai.

a more accurate translation of that interview is: *Interviewer* : "What is your opinion on your movies?" *Melville* : "Oh, I disagree." It's way funnier in French than this forced translation, because she uses the verb trouver, which can express an opinion, or as Americans would say "an idea on something", but literally translates as "to find". So the joke, sadly, doesn't work in English.

Why no more? How about more Melville movies? I think 'L'armée des ombres' is stunning, although all his films are very good. And maybe another one I really like, is the bizarrely un-American American 'The Conversation' with Gene Hackman.

Delon delivers with uber talent in this landmark movie because he fully understood the author. He also knew the movie's mysteries and nuances including that the Samourai's only purpose in life was to die. Delon captured it all with silence and his one-of-a-kind killer profile. He idolized Melville in an interview, was humbled and honored to accept the starring role. Another commenter pointed out that Melville himself made a stealth cameo appearance...the guy wearing the shades who hands Jef the gun. Whether he was the guy in the garage or on the street--or both--I don't know. But on the street in the car Jef looks up at him and says something, was it "Thank you?" Was it Melville's seal of approval?

Jean-Pierre Melville is the director. "Le Samourai" is certainly influential but Drive is really based on movies of the late 1970s and early 1980s, particularly director Walter Hill's film "The Driver" with Ryan O'Neal.

Not really, very different films. "The Driver" of 1978 was written by Walter Hill and "Drive" of 2011 is based on writer James Sallis' early 2000s novella of the same name. Also, both characters in Drive and The Driver live to see another day by the end of their respective films, while the character in "Le Samourai" does not.
