Editorial
An anti-hero cloaked in a fedora and a trench coat, Alain Delon is ice-cool as a hitman on the run in Jean-Pierre Melville’s influential classic. From flashy nightclubs to the cavernous tunnels of the Parisian metro, this stylish cat-and-mouse chase turns the crime genre into an existential drift.
