Jean-Pierre Posier’s Typical Vibe
2 films — slow-burn, dark, intense, layered, styled
After carrying out a flawlessly planned hit, Jef Costello, a contract killer with samurai instincts, finds himself caught between a persistent police investigator and a ruthless employer, and not even his armor of fedora and trench coat can protect him.
Dir. Jean-Pierre Melville · With Alain Delon, François Périer, Nathalie Delon
When French criminal Corey gets released from prison, he resolves to never return. He is quickly pulled back into the underworld, however, after a chance encounter with escaped murderer Vogel. Along with former policeman and current alcoholic Jansen, they plot an intricate jewel heist. All the while, quirky Police Commissioner Mattei, who was the one to lose custody of Vogel, is determined to find him.
Dir. Jean-Pierre Melville · With Alain Delon, Bourvil, Gian Maria Volonté
