Le cercle rouge

Uneasy but compelling Friday night viewing. Shot in colour but it feels black and white, and highlighted by an extended sequence (the central heist) with no dialogue whatsoever (maybe one or two words) - must've been at least 20 minutes, and might've been as long as 30 or 40. Noir/hard-boiled and 'cool', and thoroughly existential; layers upon layers.

(w/ trang + some of her folks, and Cassie and Kim)
