Let the movie fit the crime
STUDIOCANAL is delighted to announce the release of the first ever 4K restoration of one of the greatest heist movies of all time, LE CERCLE ROUGE (The Red Circle). Written and directed by one of France's most celebrated and truly original filmmakers, Jean-Pierre Melville, the film will be available to own on 4K UHD for the very first time, as well as on Blu-ray DVD and Digital, from November 23. This stunning restoration of LE CERCLE ROUGE comes complete with brand new bonus content and is an exciting addition to the Vintage World Cinema collection.
Though Melville is often regarded as the 'godfather of the Nouvelle Vague', LE CERCLE ROUGE is a great example of the daring and innovative filmmaking that would see the controversial director influence many artists and filmmakers, from Godard to Tarantino to Johnnie To.
An aristocratic thief, a fugitive and an alcoholic ex-cop are caught together in the thrall of destiny as they plan to carry out the ultimate robbery. Alain Delon (Le Samouraï), Gian Maria Volontè (A Fist Full of Dollars) and Yves Montand (Jean de Florette) star as the elegant, mis-matched trio locked in an elaborate and dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the inscrutable police inspector (Andre Bourvil - La Grande Vadrouille), who is determined to foil their attempts to pull off the perfect crime, despite being drawn irresistibly to his prey. As the day of the heist dawns, the story unfolds, with all four players determined to cheat fate. Pre-order at the link above.
