Ciné-Club Online Discussion: Borsalino

At Online Activity via Zoom

In our next ciné-club, we will pay homage to the late Jean-Paul Belmondo as we discuss Borsalino. This gangster movie features two of the greatest French actors, monstres sacrés Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo. During the 1930s in Marseilles, two small-time crooks work for local crime bosses until they decide to go into business for themselves and create a unique duo.

The movie is available on Kanopy (free) and Amazon Prime.
