Bande A Part (French, DVD)

Jean-Luc Godard's homage to Hollywood pulp fiction movies of the 1940s which also gave its name in the 1990s to Quentin Tarantino's production company. Franz (Sami Frey) and Arthur (Claude Brasseur), a couple of Parisian streetwise kids team up with the shy Odile (Anna Karina) to plan a robbery. The trio's over-developed fantasies come together whilst visiting the Louvre, cafes and even play-acting shoot-outs and it soon becomes apparent that the robbery is definitely not going to go according to plan.

Critic a parte

Mon, 11 May 2015 | Review by: Michael S.

It's OK, I suppose, though from all the revues I had seen I expected much more. Some kids ( though they look much older than their behaviour suggests they would be ) are grossly under-employed, and plan a robbery, along with play-acting shoot-outs and being generally so inept they're bound to fail. Two famous and memorable scenes : one where they run through the Louvre Museum ( re-enacted in the excellent Bertolucci film about kids obsessed with old films, The Dreamers ) ; and a catchy group dance in a cafe to a now dead American dance form, the Madison,
