jean-pierre melville - un flic 1972
a surf from -72 Delon with bowed head
:
rain in Normandy the cashiers receding hairline
:
a new trenchcoat the rain just rests on it
:
black ties gangsters dress with care
:
even in a rain storm a gauloise is lit
:
digging into the dusk the earth the city 4 men and their loot
:
car-phones Paris gets smaller
:
3 years after the moon-landing a blond rent-boy
:
silken robes the gay millionaire with a bronze ballerina
:
salvation army band and a cigarette cough Delon hardly smiles
:
it's Paris transvestites wear real fur
:
a Santa with military boots Delon drives past
:
the cop smiles but not his eyes hurt and cold
:
too clean police station men are wearing hats
:
a bluish tone she cries through her nose
:
white shirts black ties shiny shoes and a jazz band
:
of course he plays the piano while smoking Delon named Coleman
:
Deneuve at 29 even then even then discreet as dust
:
painted night sky cigarettes ash drops
:
too many fake backdrops Paris and van Gogh
:
la nuit Americaine and Catherine in white silk more frost
:
bluish not blues in a worn down house clean trenchcoates
:
lady of the night she wears all the colors
:
back-throat r's the American actors are dubbed
:
les decors like seeing my childhood home
:
Belle Epoque and Le Corbusier the blonde man is German
:
Bauhaus the same chairs Tati made props for clowning
:
big glasses now there old if they're alive
:
le brouillard the painted full moon a bit sloppy Delon won't drive
:
Richard Crenna was never young and never aged
:
night train the sound of metal too smooth
:
harsh water it washes off train oils
:
under the overall a dinner jacket and sideburns
:
low tech crimes tools are heavy metal objects
:
it's odd the train doesn't wobble blond man with heroin
:
the elderly gent and everyone else smokes
:
even in -72 heroin smugglers traveled first class
:
a giant horseshoe magnet is this a cartoon?
:
it's not the train it's the camera rocking
:
escape by helicopter every step in real time
:
for 15 minutes hardly a word how un-french-movie-like
:
Michael Conrad flying a chopper the conductor smells a rat
:
luckily he shaved drugged and gagged with tape
:
suddenly dawn the chopper sets down still bluish
:
Delon slaps the transvestite as real man should …
:
it's winter people turn green when coming in from the outside
:
a trick in restaurant Conrad is caught hair undone
:
in handcuffs Conrad smiles a bruise under his thumbnail
:
again: everyone smokes and talks
:
good guys have blue eyes it's still the same
:
Simon's bar a club with a daring show and French jazz
:
the crook and the cop parle comme hommes civilises
:
it's not a game of chess they just don't know what it is
:
no hairs on the back of his hand the gangster says:: c'est impossible
:
je suis désolée or whatever ... Crenna swoops the money
:
telephone centrals in -72 miles of cables and Crenna's not dubbed
:
Chatherine spoke maybe 10 sentences beautiful and cool
:
out of her nurse uniform but in a fur coat she sees her guy shot down
:
Crenna dies with no theatricals in -72 they didn't bleed much
:
Deneuve cries the money gone no new car
:
Paris at dawn Delon declines a piece of gum
:
with the Arc in the background he stays silent
:
FIN
