"Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, drew a circle with a piece of red chalk and said: 'When men, even unknowingly, are to meet one day, whatever may befall each, whatever their diverging paths, on the said day, they will inevitably come together in the red circle.'”Jean Pierre Melville truly one of the most goated directors of all time. In possibly the best team up of "cool guys" ever, a recently released ex-con, an escaped murderer, and an alcoholic ex-police marksman come together to do a heist. I love Melville's Spartan use of dialogue and bleak, muted palette, really lets you meditate on how cool all the guys are.
