Alain Delon in a trench coat

I knew Alain Delon's title as the most handsome killer in a trench coat since I was a kid. As a movie about killers, "Lonely Killer" lets the killer get rid of his previous villain image. He is no longer a vicious murderer, but sticks to professional standards and seeks vengeance. Many later killer characters follow suit. .

At the beginning of the film, there is a sentence that points out the theme "Samurai can endure the most unbearable loneliness in the world. Perhaps, only the tiger in the forest can compare with it." As the top predator in the forest, tigers have always been alone, which coincides with the title of the movie "Lone Killer". Killers shouldn't show their faces, as soon as they appear, they want to clean up their targets. The same is true for tigers, lurking near their own food step by step, and seize the opportunity to give it the final blow. In the end, when the killer had feelings and began to show up frequently, the beast walked from the jungle to the city, and it was not far from extinction.

    [A+] is basically the film that best portrays the gloomy and cold atmosphere, and almost all elements in the film have this kind of temperament. Aside from the cold-toned lighting, lens-sensing, background music, etc., which have been used all over the world by later generations, this film is most commendable for two points: the first point is the objective factor that cannot be replicated, that is, Alain Delon. His unattainable handsomeness has a kind of high-cold temperament. . The second is where you can see the director's skills. The control of the lines in the whole film is quite refined. There is no line in the first 10 minutes, but the characters, the environment, and the tone of the whole film are completely explained clearly, and the most incredible thing is Simple images do not feel dull. "Under the Skin" also has the same technique, but it really makes people want to yawn and judge. In addition to the most prominent highlights, the lighting is comparable to "The Godfather", the soundtrack is also a highlight, the plot is left blank, the action scenes are clean and neat, and the subway chase for a schedule and montage cooperates very well, it should be stolen by "French Drug Network" teacher. The best killer movies.

    (8.5/10) Four and a half stars, the cold image of film noir and the mental state of French existentialism have constructed Alain Delon, a lone killer who walks between black and white, from the inside out. The killer image created by Melville has become the standard for a ruthless killer, a lonely, taciturn, elegant gentleman, not the Belmondo in the cynical "Exhausted", but more like someone who was abandoned by the world, lost in himself, and constantly escaped. Existentialist, a lonely killer with no emotion and no support. In this ridiculous world, only death can read.

Le Samouraï quotes

  • Superintendant: Don't you love him?

    Jane Lagrange: No.

    Superintendant: Really? I'd have said you did. Laying yourself on the line for him like that, I thought you must love him.

    Jane Lagrange: You're not the psychologist you imagined.

  • Superintendant: It's strange. Girls like you are virtually prostitutes. Ever give it any thought?

    Jane Lagrange: [sitting on her bed in a nightgown while her apartment is being searched by the police] No.

    Superintendant: You should. It could blow up in your face. If the vice squad starts in after you - those boys mean business. You need to be covered. No pun intended.

    Jane Lagrange: And you want to cover me?
