Plot:	During a train ride, a man notices a woman sitting nearby. She doesn't respond to him until he offers her lunch. She turns out to be a murderer on parole, and he a runaway accused of assault and robbery. The two soon fall in love, but complications arise.
Overview:	During a long train ride heading to the north of Japan, a young man addresses an older woman in front of him. At first she doesn't respond, but he finally gets her into a conversation when he offers her lunch. Thus begins Koichi Saito's famous romantic thriller, "Le Rendez-vous". The woman turns out to be a murderer on parole, the man a runaway accused of assault and robbery. As it happens, the two soon fall in love. The woman asks the man to wait two years, for then she will be released from jail. But unbeknownst to her, he is arrested as soon as they part company. A sensuous film with stylish photography and a magnificent performance by Keiki Kishi, "Le Rendez-vous" easily makes one recall the works of the French new wave filmmakers, perhaps a Jean-Pierre Melville film directed by Claude Lelouch. In short, a gem in the truest sense of the word.
