I'm not sure how to classify Louis Malle's directorial debut, Ascenseur pour l'echafaud (literally, Elevator for the Scaffold). Possibly French new wave/noir, although some may object to Malle being lumped in with the new wavists. In any case, Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet look terrific in this absurdist crime thriller, and the Miles Davis score is beautifully, excrutiatingly sad.
