Rififi
AroView: Exiled American director Jules Dassin reclaims film noir for the French with this methodical and stylish heist movie, famous for its 35-minute real-time bank robbery, executed in virtual silence. Jean Servais leads the team of thieves with craggy charisma, and in no small part adds to the film’s legendary status.
“One of the great crime thrillers, the benchmark all succeeding heist films have been measured against, it’s no musty museum piece but a driving, compelling piece of work, redolent of the air of human frailty and fatalistic doom.” ~Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times
