Synopsis

Edouard spends his time chasing criminals. Nightclub owner Simon works with a small crew to execute daring heists with big payoffs. Meanwhile Cathy is torn between them. After a bank robbery in a small Riviera town goes wrong, a game of cat and mouse begins between Edouard and Simon’s gang.

Our take

Jean-Pierre Melville’s swansong is a crepuscular, ice-blue tinted noir and operatic underworld exposé. Alain Delon plays the ultimate criminal-turned-cop antihero, alongside an extraordinary Catherine Deneuve, in this playful self-referential triumph that remains an unfading cinematic farewell.
