ln a career-defining performance, AIain DeIon pIays Jef CosteIIo, a contract kiIler
with samurai instincts. After carrying out a fIawIessly planned hit, Jef finds himseIf caught between a persistent police investigator and a ruthless empIoyer, and not even his armor of fedora and trench coat can protect him. An eIegantly styIized masterpiece of cooI by maverick director Jean-Pierre Melville, Le samourai is a razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture with a liberaI dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythoIogy.
