This month's LUMI Presents screening coincides with European Arthouse Cinema Day - and what better way to seize the day than with one of the late, great Alain Delon's most cherished performances. 4K restored.In a career-defining performance, Delon plays Jef Costello, a contract killer with samurai instincts. After carrying out a flawlessly planned hit, Jef finds himself caught between a persistent police investigator and a ruthless employer, and not even his armour of fedora and trench coat can protect him.
An elegantly stylised masterpiece of cool by maverick director Jean‑Pierre Melville, Le Samouraï is a razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture—with a liberal dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythology.
