![]() ![]() "No answer?" "I never talk to a man holding a gun." "Is that a principle?" "A habit." John Woo called it "the closest thing to a perfect movie that (he) had ever seen." I can't think of a better way to describe this film. There isn't a wasted shot nor an extraneous line of dialogue. This film was executed as flawlessly as any film I have ever seen, and probes deeply into the philosophy of solitude. Not only that, it's just flat out fun to watch. I'll refrain from going into a full on review, as Berardinelli and Ebert have already done a better job than I could hope to. But why post? Well, this film was finally released on Criterion DVD on Tuesday, and I just received and watched the DVD today. Great transfer, and it includes some fascinating interviews of Jean-Pierre Melville about not only Le Samourai but the nature and technique of filmmaking in general. So...see it. Will |
