It's interesting that Melville was seen as derivative during his latter years, when he was in fact creating his own aesthetics and rythm (a Sergio Leone of film noir, if you will).
For people fans of his style, I can only recommend the work of Johnnie To (and that of his film company, Milkyway Image), in particular The Mission, PTU, and Exiled. Few settings are more Melvillian than Hong Kong by night.
