Jean-Pierre Melville Cinematography Reel

Jean-Pierre Melville pioneered French independent film and revitalized noir in the minimalist style. His black-and-white features emphasize shadows and inclement weather, while a stark palette of blues, greens, and browns characterizes his color movies. Movies highlighted in this reel: "Le Samouraï," "Army of Shadows," "Le Cercle Rouge," "Les Doulos," and "Bob le Flambeur."

He really let the Images sink in to your brain. He really had a great style of directing. It was always about characters and motivations, the story wasnt "that" important. Great Video and fantastic music.

Thanks so much!

Even in the heist film 'Le Circle Rouge', the heist was secondary or even incidental.

A superb video dedicated to my favourite film maker of all times, Jean-Pierre Melville. Hollywood invented the film noir genre, Melville just gave the final magic touch!!!!

He become the envy and hate of France studios, half close or working part time. His studio was the target of an arsonist pay by one of those studio owners and/or actors.

[@AnthonyValli]

Wow that's really interesting. Was it because his studio was taking work from other production companies? Why did other studios hate his?

[@VJBlues]

His French - style of film noire was something new and did become a worldwide sensation.

Melville along with Godard and Rohmer are three giants of French cinema.
