The American (2010 Anton Corbijn)

A cool film which seems to unofficially have its heart in Melville's Le Samourai but is in fact based on a novel by Englishman Martin Booth, "A Very Private Gentleman" (1990).

Clooney, Violante Placido, Thekla Reuten, Paolo Bonacelli (Father, tons of credits).
Ph Martin Ruhe in Panavision (washed out).



August 2011 review was 'Violante is yummy and there's a good sex scene. Don't tell me the butterfly is CGI."
