Amherst Cinema (28 Amity St, Amherst, MA 01002, Amherst MA)
Alain Delon plays a master thief, fresh out of prison, who crosses paths with a notorious escapee (Gian Maria Volontè) and an alcoholic ex-cop (Yves Montand).
The unlikely trio plot a heist, against impossible odds, until a relentless inspector and their own pasts seal their fates.
With its honorable antiheroes, coolly atmospheric cinematography, and breathtaking set pieces, Le cercle rouge is the quintessential film by Jean-Pierre Melville—the master of ambiguous, introspective crime cinema.
Presented in a 4K restoration from Rialto Pictures.
