Bande à Part
Film Description AKA The Outsiders. Belonging to that joyous efflorescence which was early Nouvelle Vague, Bande à Part gave cinema back to the kids as a trio of young moderns have bad attitudes and commit crimes around Paris to a hip score. Funny, utterly irreverent, very clever and perfectly cast.

Indeed, the anti-Establishment, anti-‘official cinema’ stance of early Godard is epitomized by this title’s tribute to the cheeky iconoclast. Its stylistic impulsiveness is echoed in Karina, arch-siren of the Nouvelle Vague, who tags along with a couple of small-time hoods from the suburbs for a series of adventures – miming Billy the Kid, running around the Louvre, trying to learn English – in a film, true to Godard’s philosophy, whose picaresque trajectory mirrors the process of making reality into a movie. Godard married Karina in 1961 and they divorced in 1964. From 1966, Godard’s work takes a sharply political turn… View more reviews by richard armstrong
