Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1967 film El Silencio de un Hombre (Le Samouraï), starring Alain Delon, is a foundational neo-noir crime thriller defined by its minimalist aesthetic and the solitary, methodical code of its protagonist. Often cited as a major influence on modern directors like Quentin Tarantino, the movie is noted for its sparse dialogue and atmospheric, rain-soaked depiction of Paris.
