well finally I watched Jean Pierre Melville's Le Samouraï for the first time last night. the hype was huge about it, and the film totally lived it up. it's amazing how there is no romance, not one single loveable charachter and almost no action and I still was absolutely entertained. now I'd like to know what's your opinion on the film. >>>SPOILERS<<< I believe Jeff's last contract was to kill that girl who plays the piano, and since he couldn't do that, he gave his life instead of failing to complete his job. I know some one might disagree though.
