Le Doulos
Raw! Shocking! Savage!
Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville
Produced by Rome-Paris Films, C. C. Champion
A dark, paranoid French noir built on betrayal and moral ambiguity, where trust dissolves and violence lurks beneath every transaction.
Enigmatic gangster Silien may or may not be responsible for informing on Faugel, who was just released from prison and is already involved in what should be a simple heist. By the end of this brutal, twisting, and multilayered policier, who will be left to trust?
