If you loved Le Samouraï, try A Cop
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. A Cop has roughly 4.3× fewer votes than Le Samouraï — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le Samouraï, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Cop is
Midnight boulevards slick with rain and the hum of a neon cross. A police chief’s leather gloves caress a stranger’s wife while her boyfriend counts stolen plates behind closed shutters. One gun, two hearts, three futures in collision. Jean-Pierre Melville lets the silences between gunshots do the talking.
