The Onyx Downtown presents Le Samouraï

Sunday, May 4 at 7:00 pm

NEVADA THEATRE 5/4: The Onyx Downtown pays homage to a pair of suave, Samurai-inspired assassins with our Cool Killers series!

In a career-defining performance, Alain Delon plays Jef Costello, a contract killer with samurai instincts. After carrying out a flawlessly planned hit, Jef finds himself caught between a persistent police investigator and a ruthless employer, and not even his armor of fedora and trench coat can protect him. An elegantly stylized masterpiece of cool by maverick director Jean‑Pierre Melville, LE SAMOURAÏ is a razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture —with a liberal dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythology.
