RIFIFI - JULES DASSIN (1955)

After making such American noir classics as The Naked City and Brute Force, blacklisted director Jules Dassin went to Paris and embarked on a tale of four ex-cons who hatch one last glorious robbery in the City of Light.

Rififi is the ultimate heist movie, a mélange of suspense, brutality, and dark humor that was an international hit, earned Dassin the best director prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and has proven wildly influential on the decades of heist thrillers that have come in its wake.

"Rififi" was called by Francois Truffaut the best film noir he'd ever seen . Have you seen it? If not, this is your chance to watch a newly restored version now!
