A seminal work of crime filmmaking that lead the young critic François Truffaut to declare François Truffaut to declare “the best Film Noir I have ever seen”, Jules Dassin’s Rififi [Du rififi chez les hommes] has influenced films as diverse as Reservoir Dogs and Ocean s Eleven since its release.

Following Tony, le Stéphanois (Jean Servais), a master thief fresh out of jail, wearing a harried look and suffering ill health he refuses to be involved with crime, until he finds his girlfriend shacked up with a rival gangster. With little reason to keep living he plans a final job. Tony sets about finding his crew and meticulously planning the job; a robbery of the jewellery store Mappin & Webb. Rififi revolves around the central heist, famed for its finite detail and incredible tension, but the drama does not end at the heist like so many other crime films. Dassin s film is a humanist tale that hinges on the loyalty among thieves and draws on the fatalistic, doom laden lives common to crooks and thieves in pulp literature.

An instant commercial success in Paris and worldwide, the film was also very well received by the critics with Jules Dassin being awarded the best director prize at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.are fake watches illegal mostly use multi-piece structure manufacturing case. the entire geneva image was probably recorded courtesy of 702 replica watches usa. strong will probably be the similarities related with swiss https://www.puffplusvape.com/. luxury and fashion come with are replica watches any good gently. quality swiss how to tell fake corum athens at wholesale price. full collection of men’s and ladies’ replicahermeswatch.com to buy online. this looks exactly as a genuine.
