Born in Paris during WW1, he was to become a member of the French resistance in the Second World War, an experience which he drew on in his later career as a film director, routinely plunging his characters into an underworld of secrecy and deception. The reluctant godfather of the French New Wave, Melville's highly individual style was influenced by the ideas of existentialism and surrealism, but arguably his greatest debt was to classical American cinema, the traditions of which he wove with inimitable style into his quintessentially French films. Hailed by many as the father of the French gangster movie, he was inspired by the classic film noirs of 1930s and 40s Hollywood, imbuing many his films with a sense of menace and impending peril, creating a sinister underworld to be traversed by his ubiquitous gun-toting hoodlums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis set contains six of his finest films, from his early bittersweet masterpiece, Bob Le Flambeur, to his final film, Un flic, his wonderfully fatalistic study of loss and deception; a fitting epitaph to one of the finest careers in contemporary cinema.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEXTRAS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLE DOULOS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW Interview with first assistant director Volker Schlondorff - 20 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBOB LE FLAMBEUR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW retrospective documentary by the film critic Dominique Maillet - 20 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLEON MORIN PRETRE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW Master class with Philippe Labro (friend and apprentice of Melville) + Rémy Grumbach (Melville's nephew) - 59 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLE CERCLE ROUGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDVD Extras\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterview with Le Cercle Rouge's first assistant director Bernard Stora - 30 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBD Extras\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCode Name Melville - 76 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterview with first assistant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003edirector Bernard Stora - 30 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterview with novelist José Giovanni - 15 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrésentation by Ginette Vincendeau 21'30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArmy of Shadows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL'armée des ombres... le dessous des cartes\" (Army of Shadows: the hidden side of the story) documentary - 87 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUn Flic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDocumentary featuring interviews with Un Flic's script supervisor Florence Moncorgé-Gabin and first assistant director Jean-François Delon -24 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBONUS DVD:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the mood for Melville documentary - 52 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 Heures de la vie d'un clown - Melville short - 22 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STUDIOCANAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47492521132206,"sku":"OPTBD4091","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/melville_Lime_Light_Front_BD_2.png?v=1770830098","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/melville-boxset-bd","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
