The backstabbing criminals in the shadowy underworld of Melville's Le
Doulos (slang for an informant) have only one guiding principle: lie or

be responsible for squealing on Serge Reggiani, just released from the
slammer and already involved in what should have been a simple heist.

Serge Reggiani.

Crime Wave Series: Touchez pas au Grisbi
The gangsters in Touchez pas au Grisbi ("don't touch the loot")
skew toward the middle-aged and courtly, but is there ever really honor
among thieves?
Released in 1954, Becker's humanistic evocation of a Montmartre criminal
demimonde provided a new model for the French crime film and marked the
post-war comeback of Popular Front icon Jean Gabin.

Crime Wave Series: Rififi
After making such American noir classics as The Naked
City and Brute Force, blacklisted director Jules Dassin found himself
unemployable and penniless in Paris when an agent offered him a script
originally intended for Jean-Pierre Melville who had dropped out of the
project.
With Melville's blessing, Dassin embarked on his masterpiece: a twisting,
turning tale of four ex-cons who hatch one last glorious heist in the
City of Lights.
1955/b&w/118 min. | Scr/dir: Jules Dassin; w/ Jean Servais, Jules
Dassin.

Crime Wave Series: Le cercle rouge
Melville's last great gangster film is a masterpiece and a summation of
his themes of honor, loyalty, and tragic destiny. Corey (Delon) is a cool,
aristocratic thief, released from prison on the same day that Vogel (Volontè),
a wild-eyed terrorist and murderer, escapes from police custody.
With the help of a third man—an alcoholic ex-cop named Jansen (Montand)—they
plan a daring heist from a jewelry store on the chic Place Vendôme.
1970/color/150 min. | Scr/dir: Jean-Pierre Melville; w/ Alain Delon, Yves

Crime Wave Series: Purple Noon
As the sun beats down on a yacht in the Mediterranean, two men loll back:
privileged, runaway playboy Ronet and penniless hanger-on Delon, sent
by Ronet's industrialist father to bring his son back to the family nest.
Only one of them will leave that boat alive. The first adaptation of Patricia
Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley gave 24-year-old Delon his breakthrough
role as the charming, amoral sociopath Tom Ripley, who believes he can
get away with anything... and under the taut direction of expert storyteller
Clément (Forbidden Games), he almost does.
1961/color/115 min. | Scr: Paul Gégauff, René Clément;
dir: René Clément; w/ Alain Delon, Maurice Ronet, Marie
Laforêt.

•French
Crime Wave Series: Elevator to the Gallows
Former paratrooper Ronet kills mistress Moreau's businessman husband in
his sleek high-rise office, but, as in Purple Noon, this "perfect
murder" goes wrong when a sudden power outage traps him in the elevator
while Moreau frantically paces the street below. Shot on location in nighttime
Paris by master cinematographer Henri Decaë (Purple Noon, Eva, Le
cercle rouge) and featuring a legendary jazz score by Miles Davis, Malle's
debut feature and only genre film is an elegant thriller that foreshadows
the ‘New Wave' by two years.
1957/b&w/89 min. | Scr: Roger Nimier, Louis Malle; dir: Louis Malle;
w/ Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet.
Tickets:

Crime Wave Series: Classe tous risques
The title is an untranslatable pun on tourism and insurance, but the premise
is existential and the style neo-realist. Ventura, a French thug on the
lam in Italy for a decade, needs to get back home, along with his wife
and two little boys.
A daylight robbery in Milan precipitates a remarkable chase through Italy
topped by a shoot-out on the beach at Nice. With the kids in tow, Ventura
makes his way to Paris, thanks to guardian angel Belmondo, fresh from
Breathless and the cutest pug-ugly in Pigalle.

in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution
June 30–September 27, 2009
Taking advantage of the current resurgence of interest in sculpture and
a widespread taste for Renaissance and Baroque art, this exhibition brings
together a large number of spectacular bronzes that exemplify an art form
that has been described as "among the most splendid manifestations
of artistic genius in France."
It is the first comprehensive
exhibition on the art of French bronze sculpture from its beginnings during
the Renaissance until the French Revolution of 1789.
Co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Musée du Louvre,
and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exhibition reflects the latest
scholarship on the subject.
At the same time, it provides a platform for the exploration of 16th-
to 18th-century French culture on many levels.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council
on the Arts and the Humanities.
