How did Jean-Pierre Melville work? What were his passions and what were
his idiosyncrasies? What did he leave to French cinema? And how did
he influence modern cinema from the United States to Hong Kong?
Olivier Bohler, a passionate admirer of Melville’s, tells these stories with
a pernickety editing job.
