Bande à Part (1964, FRA) 97m. ** D: Jean-Luc Godard. Starring Anna Karina, Sami Frey, Claude Brasseur, Michel Delahaye, narrated by Jean-Luc Godard. French art-house icon Godard attempts to repeat the success of his instant classic A BOUT DE SOUFFLE (1960) but result is unmemorable and largely uninspired. Two no-gooders Frey and Brasseur get involved with Karina and decide to rob her aunt. Largely (completely?) improvised crime film goes nowhere with its characters, maintaining a paper-thin pretence. Highly regarded by many Godard enthusiasts, Quentin Tarantino even named his production company 'Band Apart' after this movie. See for yourself if this appeals to you. Based on the novel Fool's Gold by Dolores Hitchens. Score by Michel Legrand. English titles: BAND OF OUTSIDERS, THE OUTSIDERS.
