Le Doulos (1962) | French Film & Wine Night | SF

Le 23 octobre – Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Le Doulos (1962) is based on a novel by Pierre Lescou. While the film comes before Melville’s masterpieces of the genre, Le Samouraï (1967) and Le Cercle Rouge (1970), one can unmistakably observe several of Melville’s trademark techniques in this film. Intertitles at the beginning of the film explain that its title refers both to a kind of hat, and to the slang term for a police informer.
