Perhaps one of the most significant gangster pictures in film history is "Bob le flambeur", the Jean-Pierre Melville-directed 1955 noir. It wasn't for another five years that Jean-Paul Belmondo embodied the spirit of a Hollywood gangster in the streets of paris in "Breathless", a...( read more)

Bob le Flambeur (1956)
Bob the gambler is a great french caper movie. Not quite Noir, in my opinion, but an excellent movie by Jean-Pierre Melville. And this makes me very interested in French New Wave and seeing more of Melville's films as well.

Spellbinding performances and direction by god Jean-Pierre Melville make of this French masterpiece an exquisite and elegant gem to enjoy to its fullest style. And you thought Ocean's Eleven (2001) was the ultimate and coolest crime film ever...
