If one has to name a definitive Delon film, then THE SAMOURAI it is. Under Melville's super direction �V many considered this to be his perfect film �V Delon plays Jef Costello, a solitary hit-man who lives by his own rules. After killing a nightclub owner, he is pursued by the police as their prime suspect. While he manages to provide sufficient alibi to get himself released on a custody, Costello is in no way relieved: the police are still keeping a close eye on him, while his employers have decided to have him killed. With minimum dialogue and facial expression, Delon's Costello is implacable and emotionless; he is clearly a villain and yet he conveys moral superiority. He is both chilling and sympathetic.
