{"product_id":"4571519937485","title":"Movie - Le Samourai - Japan Ultra HD Blu-ray","description":"\u003cp\u003eJeff Costello was the perfect hitman. Starring Alain Delon, this film—a pinnacle of master filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville’s artistry—is now available on UHD (Ultra-HD Blu-ray) in a newly restored 4K master. A crystallization of rigorous stylistic beauty achieved by master filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville—hailed as a pioneer of the Nouvelle Vague—in collaboration with his longtime ally Alain Delon. The razor-sharp compositions and cool, blue visual beauty are supported by cinematographer Henri Deca, known for his work on films by Louis Malle and Truffaut and a longtime collaborator of Melville’s, while the cool jazz of François de Roubaix quietly reflects the protagonist’s loneliness and fate. This film can be considered the pinnacle of Melville’s cinematic aesthetics.
