Brutal and deliberate: Le Doulos.

by Ryland Walker Knight

Hop on over to The Auteurs to read some words I wrote about one of Criterion's releases this week, Jean-Pierre Melville's seventh feature, Le Doulos. It's a handsome disc, and a handsome film, however ugly most of its men act. I'd say more but it's probably better to just fly through this link into that world of darkness and punches and bullets and real thug life.
