RIFIFI
JULES DASSIN | FRANCE | 1955 | 118 MIN | R | FRENCH
Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI may have firmly established the cinematic trope of building an A-Team, but Jules Dassin’s French caper RIFIFI cemented the procedural thrill of seeing professional thieves unite, plan, and enact the perfect heist. With a breathtaking, nearly dialogue-free, thirty minute jewelry store robbery. it still remains riveting nearly 70 years later.
Cast: Jean Servais, Carl Möhner, Jules Dassin
Part of the Philadelphia Film Society’s Pros and Cons: Heist series.
The heist film is synonymous with the classic crime genre and remains a barometer of the political and social climate of the times when these thrilling films were made.
