When he looks back on his groundbreaking internationally successful masterpiece THE KILLER, writer-director John Woo wistfully calls it his “dream movie.” A tribute to all of the filmmakers and pictures that had inspired him as a very passionate and knowledgeable movie buff in his own right – including Jean-Pierre Melville’s LE SAMOURAI & LE CERCLE ROUGE, plus the work of Sam Peckinpah, Martin Scorsese, Francois Truffaut’s JULES & JIM, Japanese Yakuza noir of the 1960s, and more – Woo goes even further, explaining, “I put all my dreams in that movie.”
