The Killing


The Killing (aka O Grande Golpe)
Dir: Stanley Kubrick
Written by: Stanley Kubrick, Jim Thompson and Lionel White

A huge surprise for me, I was expecting an "old", linear and slow film telling a simple history. Turns out that seems that that movie is the father of many of other films I adore. If you like movies from Quentin Tarantino or from Guy Ritchie, you WILL love this movie. Despite its age (1956) and its Black & White, it is for sure a movie ahead of its time; it is pretty modern!

Outrageously funny and intelligent. Some might say it is the best movie kubrick ever made.

For sure, many of you never put your eyes on this one but here goes the advice: RENT IT!
