Digitally Remastered “Rififi” Heading to Theaters!

The Playlist has news that should make ever fan of crime stories happy…

Rialto Pictures will be bringing the first ever digital restoration of “Rififi” to theaters this fall, and we have the exclusive trailer below. While the film’s setup may be standard —a crew of thieves plot one last job— the execution is anything but. The film’s centerpiece heist sequence, running a half-hour long and presented in nearly complete silence, is still one for the ages and has arguably never been topped. Meanwhile, Dassin brings a coolness of touch and eye for style for elevates “Rififi” far beyond its noir aesthetics.

Hopefully Rififi will show within driving distance!
