Le Doulos
CrimeDramaThriller108 min
Fresh out of prison, Faugel is drawn into what should be a simple heist while suspicion circles Silien, the elusive gangster who may have informed on him. Serge Reggiani’s Faugel moves through a 1960s French underworld built on shifting loyalties, with Silien (Jean-Paul Belmondo) never fully declaring where he stands. Jean-Pierre Melville follows criminals and police through a tightening chain of betrayals, alibis, and half-truths, letting the meaning of the title’s slang — an informant — hang over every deal and conversation.
