This 35mm screening, part of the Jean-Pierre Melville season at BFI Southbank, is also being shown on September 2nd and 7th. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Described by many as a sort of "minimalist epic," this gangster drama deals with dire fatalistic themes in the reserved, affectless manner of Robert Bresson. Melville was known for mixing American sensationalism with brooding French mannerism, and never is this commingling more resonant than it is here.
