This week, we discuss two French crime films.

The first is Le Samourai (1967), starring Alain Delon and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. The film tells the story of Jef Costello, a lone hitman who works to outsmart both the police and the angry mobsters who hired him.

The second is A Prophet (2009), directed by Jacques Audiard. It stars Tahar Rahim as Malik, a young Arab male, sentenced to 6 years in prison, who becomes embroiled with the Corsican mafia.
