With restraint and ruthless attention to detail, Jean-Pierre Melville follows the parallel tracks of French underworld criminal Gu, escaped from prison and roped into one last gig, and the suave inspector relentlessly seeking him. Le deuxième souffle captures the pathos, loneliness, excitement, and suspense of a life in the shadows, and contains one of the most thrilling heists Melville ever shot.
