About
Le deuxième souffle

This is perhaps the film that would give birth to Melville's gangster genre style with Le Samourai and Red Circle following this. A lot of Melvilleisms in this film like focusing on Trenchcoats, fedoras and luggage. In this film also there's a great use of zooming and panning out, something of a legacy from the French new wave, you don't really see in films today.
