Two years before The Godfather and three years before The Sting, there was Borsalino, a wildly entertaining period-set gangster movie that brought together two icons of French cinema, Jean-Paul Belmondo (Breathless) and Alain Delon (Le Samourai). Marseille, 1930: small-time gangster Roch Siffredi (Delon) is released from prison and finds his former girlfriend Lola (Catherine Rouvel, Picnic on the Grass) has moved on and is now with Francois Capella (Belmondo), another petty crook. Initially at odds, the two men form a partnership that will see them rise through the ranks of organised crime in Marseille. But how far will they go in their pursuit of power and what price will they be forced to pay? Directed by Jacques Deray (La Piscine), written by Jean-Claude Carriere (Belle Du Jour), with a score by French Jazz pianist Claude Bolling, and costumes by Jacques Fonteray (Barbarella), Borsalino is a gallic gangster classic!

I will say for sure that just having Belmondo in a film is a treat, add Delon and then we have a....

I saw this film in the movie theater many years ago when I was a young teenager and I liked it a lot. Seen it again was like a time-machine going back on time. Another collector set, you will love what is in the package.

Great French Gangster Classic -Highly Entertaining

One of the most unique French crime dramas of the 1970's. Borsalino is the story of two rival gangster with ambitions on controlling 1930's Marseille, and their code of honor which leads to mutual respect. Cool, violent, but refined, the pairing of Delon and Belmondo add charm and levity to the bloody, bullet-riddled plot, think Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. An all around great film. Very memorable. Very entertaining. A true classic. I hope the sequel is available soon. Recommended to fans of French crime dramas. This film also reminded me of John Woo's heroic bloodshed films, so Hong Kong action films may enjoy it as well. This limited edition of Borsalino is truly excellent, beautifully presented with plenty of extra features, and packaged with a very generous amount physical content as well.

The Classic French Gangster Film - Thrilling Entertainment

One of the most famous French Gangster films of the 1970's. A refined but violent action-packed story set in the 1930's. The A-list pairing of Delon and Belmondo are charming and add some comedy to this cool, bullet-riddled crime drama. An all-around great and well made film. Very memorable. Very entertaining. Recommended to fans of French crime cinema. Fans of Hong Kong cinema may also enjoy this movie as it reminded me a bit of John Woo's work. I really hope the sequel is available soon. This limited edition has plenty of extra features and is presented with an extremely nice amount of packaged content. Highly recommended.
