HI05029   Alain Delon: The Handsomest Crook in the World

The death of Alain Delon, the European superstar, has not diminished his appeal. In this course, ACE World Film will showcase some of the best performances by this exceptional actor.
Delon was at his most impossibly handsome in Purple Noon, the same role that Matt Damon would later play in “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” In The Swimming Pool (La Piscine), Delon stars with his once real-life partner, Romy Schneider, in a “slow burn,” utterly compelling suspense thriller. John-Pierre Melville’s Le Cercle Rouge (The Red Circle) combines honorable antiheroes, coolly atmospheric cinematography, and breathtaking set pieces to create a masterpiece of crime cinema. In Melville’s Le Samourai, Delon, in a career-defining performance, plays Jef Costello, a contract killer with Samurai instincts. Luchino Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers is a neo-realist masterpiece, a dramatic chronicle of class war, personal downfall, and family disintegration, as a poor southern Italian family struggles to adjust to life in the bleak northern industrial city of Milan. Scenes from The Leopard and Is Paris Burning? will also be included.
