- 7PM
Jean-Pierre Melville, master of the existential crime drama, brings his trademark minimalist cool to this precision-crafted thriller starring Alain Delon as an ex-con drawn into a daring jewelry store robbery along with an escaped crook and an alcoholic ex-cop. The centerpiece is a wordless, intricately choreographed heist sequence, a masterclass in the mechanics of cinematic suspense that unfolds over 30 bravura minutes of pure cinema.
