This along with Le Samourai is the best Melville. A gorgeous war film where every characters' deep sense of regret and remorse is felt. 6 years 3 months ago -

I'm breathless.. This movie is perfect on all levels, a true masterpiece.
Please do yourself a favor and watch this one if you haven't seen it yet (and if you have, just watch it again for god's sake!). 7 years 9 months ago -
