I, too, think Le Samourai is a very cool movie.
Same deal as The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa (very funny title, the selfsame Eddie Coyle is also a very cool movie) - don't think I'd ever touch this again, but I appreciate the experience even if it's dull as all hell, however purposefully. Not sure why the intentional drudgery of this is preferable to me over the same in a Suda game or whatever - maybe because yeo's stuff is overtly about pure ennui (relatable!), or maybe because it takes ~1000th of the time to get through. Anyway watching Le Cercle Rouge on the big screen five times a day to drown out the silence sounds good to me, I dunno what the hitman in this is bothered about.
