Jean-Pierre Melville`s hugely influential film remains a cornerstone of the crime genre. Recently released from prison, thief Corey (Alain Delon) finds himself caught up in a dangerous triangle with a mysterious woman (Gian Maria Volonte) and an ex-cop with some issues of his own (Yves Montand). Melville`s film is the epitome of cool, with moody cinematography and stellar set design. Featuring another standout performance from Delon, LE CERCLE ROUGE is a bona fide crime classic.
