Jean-Pierre Melville’s final film distills his work to its essence. Weary cops (led by Alain Delon) chase calculating crooks who pull elaborate heists under gray skies and then take refuge with gorgeous women (Catherine Deneuve). The real-time heist at the center of the film is so elaborate that Melville had to stage part of it with miniatures, but the Gallic sang-froid throughout is the real deal. -Lee Gardner
