Koko Art Goods: Le Samourai

Koko Art Goods presents a striking minimalist poster for Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï, a timeless French neo-noir masterpiece. The design features a moody, high-contrast portrait of Alain Delon, half-swallowed by shadow, donning a fedora and trench coat—a stoic symbol of existential solitude. With its stark black background and cool blue text, this piece is the epitome of cinematic minimalism and vintage noir allure.

Drawing inspiration from mid-century poster design and the film noir tradition, this artwork reflects Melville’s austere visual language—precise framing, muted palettes, and a devotion to silence and stillness. The typography is bold and modernist, echoing European type design of the 1960s, with a touch of brutalist clarity. The figure's surgical placement and use of negative space honors the discipline of Japanese ink wash aesthetics, paralleling the samurai code referenced in the film’s title.

Le Samouraï (1967) is often regarded as a progenitor of the modern hitman archetype and is beloved by directors like Jim Jarmusch, John Woo, and Nicolas Winding Refn. It influenced films such as Drive, Ghost Dog, and The American, and remains a benchmark for existential crime cinema. This newly restored 4K edition poster is a must-have for lovers of cool, calculated storytelling, French New Wave, and sophisticated visual storytelling.
