I love good portrayals of fatalism & existential nihilism in general - no wonder I love noirs :) And yeah, it was purely coincidental that a Melville film helped me reache this small milestone. Just love his works. <br /><br />Interestingly, my first tryst with Melville had been Le Samourai, and though this remains as his single most famous work, I didn't like it much then. But, over the years I've realized that the reasons for which I didn't like the film are, ironically, the same reasons for which I love most of his works. So I really need to revisit the film, and I'm planning to do that sooner rather than later.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-66264437689767696152013-04-08T09:36:23.948+05:302013-04-08T09:36:23.948+05:30Congratulations on reaching 900 Shubhajit! And ye...Congratulations on reaching 900 Shubhajit! And yes, Melville is one of your favorites and a deserving artist to collaborate with you in reaching that milestone. Yes, I'd also agree that fatalism and existential nihilism are central to this particular Melville and some others in fact. Fascinating capsule!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
