Le Cercle Rouge French pronunciationl skl u , The Red Circle is a 1970 crime film set in Paris, France. It was directed by JeanPierre Melville and stars Alain Delon, Andre Bourvil, Gian Maria Volont and Yves Montand. It is known for its climactic heist sequence which is about half an hour in length and without any dialogue.

Vincent Canby, in a 1993 review of a 99minute version dubbed into English, said the film may baffle anyone coming upon him for the first time according to CanbyPeter Bradshaw, in a 2003 review of a 102minute reissue, called the film a treat and noted Melville blends the Chandleresque world of his own devising with gritty French reality. With its taut silent robbery sequence, his movie gestures backwards to Rififi, and with Montands specially modified bullets it anticipates Frederick Forsyths Day of the Jackal and the contemporary technothriller. ........
