| BAND OF OUTSIDERS (1964) | |
|
|
Jean-Luc Godard, one of the French New Wave Cinema pioneers, bends and breaks the traditional rules of cinema in Band of Outsiders as he sends forth his vision. The vision is of two men and a woman planning a robbery of a large sum of money. The planning itself is a fruitless accomplishment as the three characters diverge cognitively, and instead end up entertaining their thoughts and egos. Nevertheless, they are certain about setting their plan into action. Occasionally, it seems as if Godard has lost it, but there is always a designed thought behind each action and scene. Throughout the film Godard uses quotes from books, films, and music of his choosing, which colors the personalities of the characters. These characters are what creates the cinematic experience together with Godard's rebellious directing and the groundbreaking cinematography. In the end, this film is one of many that adds to the plethora of progressive cinematic art that film enthusiasts can enjoy today. |
