About the Film
Jean-Luc Godard pitched Band of Outsiders as “Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka.” But that doesn’t quite account for the magical spell that the film casts, which has a lot to do with the youth and grace of its three young stars Anna Karina, Sami Frey, and Claude Brasseur; with Godard’s freedom of invention, which allows him to move from reverie to the antic to the unexpected celebration of sheer movement that is the now canonical “Madison” dance scene; and, in critic Manny Farber’s words, “the inclement charm Godard gets from drizzly weather.” Based on Dolores Hitchens’s novel Fools’ Gold, Band of Outsiders is one of Godard’s most beloved films.
