1969, Jean-Pierre Melville
This is a slightly more traditional work, almost a Euro-film from Melville. There are distinctive individual shots thought the camera largely keeps itself quiet. Saying that, the mis-en-scene is occassionally stylised to nice effect, using matte backdrops and swirling folks. This is very much a 'recreation', rather than brutal realism.
Melville's use of suspense-twist are used on a number of occassions. His focus on the mechanics of the actions, rather than deep personal motives, also serve as a good lesson. A good, exciting resistance film, with loyalty and brotherhood, their necessities and perils, all there.
