Wish this set contained other Delon movies other than those already released previously in the English market (Plein Soleil, L'Eclisse, Un Flic, and Flic Story have all been released before), however the picture quality in this set is excellent, and it includes some extra materials for L'Eclisse and Traitement de Choc. Not to mention the latter film has never been out on DVD (and available with English subtitle either) before! This set contains Delon's work with some of the most important directors in his career. So buy it!


4 out of 5 stars Golden boy of French cinema in the 60s given the repackaging treatment   July 20, 2007
  23 out of 24 found this review helpful

In many ways the French equivalent of shady English heartthrobs Terence Stamp and Michael Caine, Alain Delon was the most charismatic and menacing star of French cinema in the 60s and 70s. Yet to some, he's most recognisable as the owner of the chiselled cheekbones that graced the cover of The Smiths' album The Queen Is Dead. br /br /He made his name at the dawn of the decade in Rene Clement's stylish thriller Plein Soleil, an adaptation from Patricia Highsmith's novel and later to be remade with Matt Damon and Jude Law as The Talented Mr Ripley. br /br /He cemented his reputation in Antonioni's brilliant L'Eclisse, in which he plays a brash stockbroker who enters into a doomed relationship. He soon became known for playing dark, existential loners - some of them troubled cops, as in 1972's Un Flic and 1975's Flic Story (released on DVD here for the first time) and occasionally even more sinister creatures, as he did in his portrayal of the peculiar Dr Devilers in Alain Jessua's disturbing psychological thriller Traitement de Choc.br /br /Perfectly matched with some of European cinema's most luminous leading ladies (Catherine Deneuve, Monica Vitti) Delon was never as compelling as he was in this era. br /br /He continues to work (next year will see him playing Julius Caesar opposite Gerard Depardieu in the latest "Asterix" adventure, Asterix at the Olympic Games) but you really can't do better than these five films as an introduction to his early work and his glory days. Only the addition of 1970 gangster mega-hit Borsalino would improve the collection.br /br /as published in Subba-Cultcha
