Touch of Noir: The Caged Drifter in ‘Le Samouraï’

June 16, 2013 by Katherine Springer

    Born out of Jean-Pierre Melville’s love of 1930s Hollywood crime dramas, Le Samouraï (1967) is unquestionably one of the best homages to film noir. The film itself is a cross between classic film noir and Japanese yakuza samurai films, melding the principled noir anti-hero and the honor-bound, wandering warrior samurai figure into a rumination […]

May 19, 2013 by Katherine Springer
