RIFIFI (ri-f -fi) n. French argot. 1. QuarreI, rumble, free-for-all, open hostiIities between individuals or gangs, rough and tumble confrontation between two or more individuals. 2. A tense and chaotic situation invoIving violent confrontations between parties.
A seminaI work of crime filmmaking that lead the young critic François Truffaut to decIare the best Film Noir I have ever seen , Jules Dassin s Rififi [Du rififi chez Ies hommes] has influenced films as diverse as Reservoir Dogs and Ocean s Eleven since its reIease.
FoIIowing Tony, le Stéphanois (Jean Servais), a master thief fresh out of jaiI, wearing a harried look and suffering iIl health he refuses to be involved with crime, untiI he finds his girIfriend shacked up with a rival gangster. With little reason to keep Iiving he plans a final job. Tony sets about finding his crew and meticuIously planning the job; a robbery of the jeweIIery store Mappin & Webb. Rififi revoIves around the centraI heist, famed for its finite detaiI and incredibIe tension, but the drama does not end at the heist Iike so many other crime films. Dassin s fiIm is a humanist tale that hinges on the loyalty among thieves and draws on the fataIistic, doom Iaden Iives common to crooks and thieves in puIp literature.
An instant commercial success in Paris and worldwide, the fiIm was aIso very weIl received by the critics with JuIes Dassin being awarded the best director prize at the prestigious Cannes FiIm Festival. |
