This has to one of the best box set buys around at the moment. I brought mine for a snip, and have been extremely happy with my purchase. What a great way to introduce yourself to one of the great French film makers. Six fine films from the revered godfather of the French New Wave Jean-Pierre Melville. Aside from the films there is over 2 hours of extras which give an insight into the man himself by those who worked closest to him. If ever there was a true auteur of the cinema it was Melville. He would often write in his office which came directly down into the film set by a spiral staircase. This staircase is often visible in his films. I have already reviewed "Bob Le Flambeur" and "Leon Morin, Pretre", in some depth on Amazon. The last demonstrates Melville's versatility. He was certainly capable of making fine films outside his favourite film noir influenced crime films. "Army of Shadows" is arguably the finest movie ever made about the French resistance. In "Le Doulos" a criminal goes in search of revenge. In "Le Cercle Rouge" a jewel theif teams up with a disparate group to carry out a jewel heist. Finally in "Un Flic", made not long before Melville's untimely death, a Police Commissioner and a gang leader, in love with the same woman, clash when a bank robbery takes place. At the time of this review the box set can be purchased very reasonably, and it is a very good buy to the lover of fine cinema.
