Le Doulos
''Le Doulos'' ((:lə dulos)) is a 1962 French crime film directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. It was released theatrically as ''The Finger Man'' in the English-speaking world, but all video and DVD releases have used the French title. Intertitles at the beginning of the film explain that its title refers both to a kind of hat and to the slang term for a police informer. ''Le Doulos'' is based on a novel by Pierre Lesou. While the film comes before what are considered Melville’s masterpieces of the genre, ''Le Samouraï'' (1967) and ''Le Cercle rouge'' (1970), one can unmistakably observe several of Melville’s trademark techniques in this film. == Plot == The narrative unfolds through two characters, Maurice and Silien, and consistently switches back and forth between them, leading the audience to grasp randomly for a distinct main character or hero (despite the fact that both are criminal anti-heroes). Through Maurice and Silien’s actions, the film explores just how deeply qualities such as friendship and loyalty run. ''Le Doulos'' begins by introducing us to Maurice, an ex-con, just released from prison after serving a six-year sentence. He then murders his friend Gilbert, stealing the jewels he had been hiding, that were proceeds from a recent heist. Shortly afterwards, Maurice plans a heist of a rich man’s estate and shares his plan with Silien, who is rumored to be a police informant. Silien is later picked up and questioned by the police. The film unfolds from there, incorporating a number of plot twists revealed through Melville’s traditionally styled hard-boiled dialogue and picturesque visuals.
