Spine 218: Le Cercle Rouge

from Lost in Criterion · host Lost in Criterion

Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge (1970) opens with a nonsensical and overwrought (and fabricated) quote from the Buddha. It sets a tone for the entire film. Nothing really makes sense, everyone makes decisions against their barely established character and motivations are at best unclear. But it does let us reflect on all the other gangster films we've watched that we loved or hated! Good times!
