If you loved Army of Shadows, try Le Samouraï

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, and they both carry the cult, devastating, dread, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Army of Shadows, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Le Samouraï is

Rainy Paris streets, a lone pistol. A hitman's calculated moves, a detective's relentless pursuit. Melville frames a claustrophobic world of crime.
