Bande A Part R2 (British Film Institute) - Godard, Jean-LucReleasedatum: 26 april 2003
Gleefully putting into practise D.W. Griffith's maxim that "all you need to make a film is a girl and a gun," 'Bande a Part' is Godard's playful tribute to the Hollywood pulp crime movies of the Forties, executed with typically Gallic cool. Franz and Arthur, a couple of streetwise characters, team up with the shy Odile (a beguiling performance from Anna Karina) to plan a robbery. As the trio of misfits roam the cafes of suburban Paris, does a lightning tour of the Louvre, and play-acts shoot-outs, the suspicion grows that this is one heist that is not going to go according to plan. With superb photography by Raoul Coutard, music by Michel Legrand and one of the most exhilarating dance sequences in film, 'Bande a part' is "about as enjoyable as cinema gets" (Time Out).
DVD Extras:
A-Z Guide to 'Bande a Part', featuring an interview with Anna Karina, Quentin Tarantino on the dance sequence and Pulp Fiction, and a commentary by Dr Roland-Francois Lack. Interview with Raoul Coutard. Original theatrical trailer. Jean-Luc Godard biography.
