Le Cercle Rouge (1970). Another great Melville gangster flick. i loved how he spent so much time on the "job." His use of silence and human gesture to express human emotion is wonderful. The characters, ranging from cool cats to the patiently intelligent to being pushed to the brink by demons, are sublime. The cinematography is a splendid treat. All around a wondeful movie. Ashe.
