Watch Le Cercle Rouge first! Un Flic is a strange(r) film but by no means a lesser Melville. Just tonally one of his oddest.

Then again I feel Melville could do no wrong. I know plenty of folks who are bored senseless by his films or find them to be "meh".

I don't care for Le Cercle Rouge but give it a try for completism's sake.

iirc Le Cercle Rouge has the bit where someone has to hide in the boot of a car, and gets in smoking a lit cigarette.
