Le Doulos (Special Edition) aka The Finger Man

A 4K Restoration! From Jean-Pierre Melville, the legendary director of Bob Le Flambeau, Léon Morin, Priest, Le Circle Rouge and Un Flic. The backstabbing criminals in the shadowy underworld of Le Doulas have only one guiding principle: “Lie or die. ” A stone-faced Jean-Paul Belmond (Le Professional) stars as enigmatic gangster Silken, who may or may not be responsible for squealing on Fugal (Serge Regina, Les Adventurers), just released from the slammer and already involved in what should have been a simple heist. By the end of this brutal, twisty, and multilayered policer, who will be left to trust? Shot and edited with Melville’s trademark cool and featuring masterfully stylized dialogue and performances, Le Doulas (slang for an informant) is one of the filmmaker’s most gripping crime dramas. Screenplay by Melville, adapted from the best-selling novel by Pierre Lesson (Un Condé), with top-notch cinematography by Nicolas Haier (Le Cordeaux).
