He made rigor and extreme, maniacal technical and narrative precision his stylistic hallmark, which has been imitated countless times since then. Rarely conceding anything in terms of emotionality. Cold, disillusioned, fatalistic, pessimistic. The quintessence of Noir. Without him, some of the best filmmakers in the world might not even have existed, see Woo, Jarmusch, Mann, Kitano... even Tarantino has always worshiped him. Le Deuxieme Souffle, the masterpiece.
