Rififi (1955): Easing the Pain of Betrayal
Rififi was Dassin’s comeback film, his revenge fantasy film, a revenge not only on foes across the pond but on capitalism itself.

I still think this essay I wrote for @bwdr.bsky.social is the critical piece I'm most proud to have written. It's on Jules Dassin's heist masterpiece RIFIFI (1955), and I'd be honored if you read it.
