Episode 558: The Red Circle (1970)

We kick off a month of discussing French films with a look at Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Circle Rouge (The Red Circle). The film stars Alain Delon and Gian-Maria Volente as two criminals who cross paths. Along with Yves Montand, the three men execute a daring heist before the fickle finger of fate touches them. Samm Deighan and Andrew Leavold join Mike to discuss the film. Mike also speaks with author Rui Nogueira about his Melville on Melville book. Learn more about your ad choices.
