This 'out-of -character' work of Melville's is, to me, his most remarkable, And Belmondo, wow, I don't even know how to describe him. Forget "breathless", this is Belmondo's real masterpiece. His ax broke my heart open by mistake. A pity though this film was one-of-a-kind for both Melville and Belmondo.

I know what you mean. I think some people on imdb far too often underrate great movies because they are too "slow" or "quiet"...even though those are more often than not the best movies...sigh.

shareThis marks the third time I’ve felt jealousy in my life, the first seeing Goya in a crowd and having to share; the second reading Patrick White alone and having no one to share it with; and now you seeing this movie.
How was it?
