A screening of the film Le Samouraï is scheduled for 27 November 2026 at the Institut Francais d Ecosse in Edinburgh. The film features Alain Delon as a contract killer with samurai instincts. The listed ticket price is £8 full price or £5 for French Institute members.
“In a career-defining performance, Alain Delon plays a contract killer with samurai instincts. A razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American-style gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture — with a liberal dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythology — director Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterpiece Le Samouraï defines cool.” (DVD Beaver) The story of a solitary hit man increasingly ensnared in a web of harassment and betrayal Le Samouraï is the most sombre and poetic of all Melville’s gangster films, and its final remains one of the most stunning yet enigmatic twists ever committed to celluloid.
