A Cop

Why we chose it

Alain Delon plays the cop, Richard Crenna the thief, and Catherine Deneuve is with one of them and sleeping with the other. For his last film, Jean-Pierre Melville (“Le Samouraï”) stayed true to form with a noir thriller that’s thick with atmosphere and played ice-cold.

Synopsis

Out of season and in the rain, four men walk into a bank on the seafront at Saint-Jean-de-Monts, and one of them is wounded by the time they come out. Their boss, Simon, runs a nightclub in Paris. The case lands on the desk of Commissaire Coleman, an old acquaintance of Simon’s who also happens to be sleeping with Simon’s girlfriend, Cathy.
