About the Item
This striking 1967 French Moyenne film poster for Le Samouraï is a superb example of minimalist cinematic design, capturing the cool, controlled precision of Jean-Pierre Melville’s iconic neo-noir masterpiece. Featuring a stark monochrome portrait of Alain Delon as the enigmatic hitman Jef Costello, the artwork distils the film’s mood of existential tension and icy detachment into a single unforgettable image. The bold red typography set against the austere composition reinforces the film’s austere elegance and enduring influence. Clean, unfussy, and atmospherically restrained, it mirrors the director’s signature visual style.
Jean-Pierre Melville, one of France’s most influential filmmakers, brought a quasi-samurai code of honour to the Parisian underworld, shaping modern crime cinema. Le Samouraï is widely regarded as his masterpiece: a hypnotic study of solitude, ritual, and fatalism. Alain Delon delivers one of the most iconic performances of his career, embodying a character whose silence, discipline, and moral ambiguity have inspired generations of filmmakers—from Michael Mann to John Woo.
This original movie poster is a gem for collectors of French cinema, film noir, and mid-century graphic design. Understated yet visually commanding, it perfectly encapsulates the timeless allure of Melville’s cinematic world.
This vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed and is 22 5/8 x 29 3/4 inches (plus a bit more with the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
