Le Samourai (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967)

8.5/10
The second film in the Drive lineage was Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai, an effortlessly cool French noir film that really hit all the right notes for me. It really had it all - smart direction, icy cold performances (especially from Alain Delon), great visual style, good music, and a brilliantly restrained tone. Definitely could grow on me and make me like it even more.
