Highly enjoyable tongue-in-cheek romp by a sometimes hard-to-fathom, but brilliant, French New Wave director. Great sense of youthful fun (and folly) in pre swinging-sixties Paris. Anna Karina (Godards wife) is mesmerizingly beautiful as the sheltered young woman mixed up with two movie-obsessed, would-be hoods out to make some easy money. Lean, minimalist directorial style, refreshingly uncomplicated but skilled cinematography and a very-Parisian trad-jazz score combine to produce probably Godard's most conventional and easily enjoyed movie. This BFI issue has a high quality feel about it, the transfer is clear and crisp, the various extras are informative and fun to dip into, and the original poster-art cover design is great. Even if you think you don't (or won't) like Godard, you probably will enjoy BANDE A PART. Highly recommended.Read full review
a trip back in time, wonderful to own this which is so reminiscent of Godard and the era. We are a part of a huge number of Godard fans who always long to look back into the sixties and seventies - keep them coming
Witty, amusing, quirky 1964 movie about a couple of small-time French crooks planning a robbery in a tax-dodger's flat. This film so impressed Quentin Tarantino that he named his production company A Band Apart. Best scene is a dance in a Paris cafe. When Tarantino was making Pulp Fiction he showed this scene to Uma Thurman and John Travolta and it inspired their performance of the twist in his film. Jean-Luc Godard directs his then wife, Anna Karina, Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur.
