Impressions of a French Gangster

french_gangster

Thats the look I’ve got nailed down from the French gangster films seen recently:

film
Left: Mesrine: Killer Instinct & Public Enemy No. 1, Right: Un Prophet

Of course its a pretty generic statement, but couldn’t help noticing they were carrying a similar look  (although you should check out the Guardian’s image gallery of Jacques Mesrine for the multitude of disguises he pulled off!).

While they both tell the story of a gangster’s rise to notoriety, they are still different enough to stand on their own.If you havn’t seen these 2 films (or 3 rather if you consider that Mesrine comprises of 2 films) they should definitely be ones to consider watching on the celluloid.
