i agree, this movie is so freaking cool. i was totally blown away. i'm adding this to my collection immediately. i'm so happy with everything about bande à part, i don't know where to start.
shareoui....haha...thats like french for yes
Encounter with highly abnormal shark-like fish! I tagged it dorsally with a homing dart!
I think Band of Outsiders, My Life to Live, and The 400 Blows are the three best New wave films of all time. Breathless falls in line right after this (I've always kind of thought Breathless was a bit overrated compared to the lack of recognition Godard's other films receive, but its still great)
shareI gotta give it to Pierrot le Fou, because it's so unforgettable to me, but this runs a close second.
shareband of outsiders followed by pierrot le fou for sure. by the way pierrot le fou is the film that referenced jules and jim
"hows jules and jim"
Best Pic 2010: Inglourious Basterds
Actually I think the Jules & Jim reference is in "A Woman is a Woman"
share"how's jules and jim" is from Les Demoiselles de Rochefort.

Hardly. However, as I usually - or at least more often than not - find JLG problematic if not outright off-putting, this one was a really pleasent surprise. An appealingly whimsical, quirky film with a wonderful atmosphere and some excellent cinematography. What I don't get, however, is why it's listed merely as a crime/romantic drama when for me, it was above all a farce of sorts - a very humorous film almost throughout. Some more serious & seriously poetic undercurrents and passages were there of course, but the main flavour is still the understated, kind of absurdist comedy. It's the second JLG film after Pierrot Le Fou that I 'really' liked. 8/10.
As for the best French New Wave flick... Last Year In Marienbad would probably fit the bill.
