Four years after À BOUT DE SOUFFLE, Jean-Luc Godard reimagined the gangster film even more radically with BANDE À PART. In it, two restless young men, played by Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur) enlist the object of both of their fancies to help them commit a robbery — in her own home.
This audacious and wildly entertaining French New Wave gem is at once sentimental and insouciant, effervescently romantic and melancholy, and it features some of Godard’s most memorable set pieces, including the headlong race through the Louvre and the unshakably cool Madison dance sequence.
Jean-Luc Godard, France, 1964, 97 min. French spoken, Dutch subtitles.
With Anna Karina, Claude Brasseur, Sami Frey.
