Le Samouraï (The Samurai)

  • The Landmark Centre 129 High Street Deal CT14 6BB (map)

Our Alain Delon tribute season continues with this sleek 1967 neo-noir crime thriller

Hit man Jef Costello (Alain Delon) goes through an elaborate set of rituals before carrying out a hit on a nightclub owner. Always thorough and cool in his job, Costello is disconcerted to discover a witness to the killing, the club's female piano player. But before he can act, the police arrest him in a sweep of suspects. Released when the main witness does not come forward, Costello goes from being the hunter to the hunted, trailed by the determined police as well as his crime bosses.

Director Jean-Pierre Melville wrote Le Samouraï specifically for Delon and the pair made three films together forming a partnership that changed the course of Delon’s career, establishing him as a worldwide action star alongside Jean-Paul Belmondo.
