Southend CineScene presents a screening of Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 film Le Samouraï at Beecroft Art Gallery on 1 October 2026. Tickets are available to purchase by checking the website.
Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1967 crime classic follows a professional hitman whose carefully controlled world begins to unravel after a killing.
Le Samouraï (1967)
Jean-Pierre Melville’s spare, atmospheric crime film stars Alain Delon as Jef Costello, a professional hitman living alone in a Paris apartment and following a strict personal code.
After carrying out a contract killing, Costello is seen by a witness and finds himself caught between a police investigation and the people who employed him. As the pressure closes in, his carefully ordered existence begins to unravel.
With its restrained performances, minimalist style and striking use of space and silence, Le Samouraï is one of the defining films of French crime cinema.
