“The Samurai” A solitary way of life depicted in a masterpiece of French film noir

The golden duo, Alain Delon and Melville

``The Samurai'' marks the first work of the director/starring duo, which will continue with `` Jingi '' (1970) and `` Lisbon Express '' (1972).

The circumstances behind Alain Delon's decision to appear in the film are also interesting. Melville and Alain Delon had been exploring the possibility of making films together for some time. Alain Delon decides to concentrate on his activities on the international stage, and just when it seems like this is his last Being There, Melville comes to his house with a script he had written for him and reads it out loud. . For the first seven and a half minutes, there was no dialogue at all. At that point, Alain Delon reportedly declared, ``That's enough. I'm going to be in this movie.''

When asked, ``What's the title?'' Melville replies, ``The Samurai.'' Apparently, Alain Delon quietly agreed and showed Melville his bedroom. There was a leather bed, and the walls were decorated with The Samurai spears, swords, and wakizashi.

Needless to say, the bedroom is the most private place in your home. To reveal the items that are said to be the life of The Samurai displayed in such a secret place is like opening one's heart and confessing that the soul of The Samurai resides within one's heart. Even Melville must have been moved. After such a ceremonial exchange, the monumental work of both parties finally began to move forward.
