Borsalino

About This Movie

Borsalino is a fascinating blend of comedy and crime, set against the gritty backdrop of 1930s Marseilles. The film captures the camaraderie and mischief of two small-time crooks, played by the charismatic Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Their chemistry is palpable, and it drives the film's pacing, which feels both relaxed and lively at once. The atmosphere is rich with period detail, from the costumes to the bustling streets. There's a certain charm in how the characters navigate the underworld, starting from petty schemes to bigger jobs for gangsters. It's this juxtaposition of humor and danger that makes it stand out, along with the stylish direction of Jacques Deray. The practical effects and stunts, though not flashy, lend a grounded feel to the chaos. A true gem for collectors interested in French cinema.
