DVD Savant Review: Band of Outsiders Band of Outsiders is technically a film version of a thriller, but the handling of the main plot (stealing an easily-taken stash of illicit money) is almost irrelevant. Criterion's DVD of Band of Outsiders is blessed with another remarkable set of extras, in addition to its nigh-perfect transfer and a soundtrack that highlights the very nice music of Michel Legrand. All well and good, but it must be said that the reason that a shapeless film like Band of Outsiders is at all watchable, is for the same reasons that any movie is: the characters are interesting. www.dvdtalk.com /dvdsavant/s703band.html   (942 words)

Band of Outsiders (2001): Reviews Band of Outsiders is about the tyranny of living a life of movie-fed fantasies, and while it makes us see the poverty of those fantasies, it also makes them unaccountably rich, poetic, sad. The wonderful thing about Band of Outsiders is that the daring elements that jazzed audiences then have the same power to intoxicate all these years later. The strangely mesmerizing dance contest in "Pulp Fiction" was born of Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 New Wave classic Band of Outsiders. www.metacritic.com /video/titles/bandofoutsiders   (475 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment "Band of Outsiders" We never feel more complicity in "Band of Outsiders" than we do when Karina, addressing the camera, says, "My heart goes out at the sight of you." Odile may be speaking about the boys she loves; Karina may have directed the line to her then-husband behind the camera. "Band of Outsiders" is about the tyranny of living a life of movie-fed fantasies, and while it makes us see the poverty of those fantasies, it also makes them unaccountably rich, poetic, sad. But "Band of Outsiders" is never "just a movie" for the simple reason that Godard never loses sight of the larger world. www.salon.com /ent/movies/review/2001/08/17/band_of_outsiders/print.html   (1409 words)

'Band of Outsiders' returns with its unique charm intact - 01/04/02    In the 35 years since its American release, Jean-Luc Godard's lyrical gangster romance Band of Outsiders has been as difficult to revisit as it is impossible to forget. The wonderful thing about Band of Outsiders is that the daring elements that jazzed audiences then have the same power to intoxicate all these years later.    In Band of Outsiders, the writer-director was in an especially good-humored frame of mind, and the most lively and sophisticated kind of fun resulted. www.detnews.com /2002/entertainment/0201/06/e03-381805.htm   (834 words)

Upcoming.org: Band of Outsiders (Bande à part) at National Gallery of Art (Sunday, November 21, 2004) Band of Outsiders' pulp-novel milieu is a dull Parisian suburb where Anna Karina and her two gangster cronies (Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur), botching their efforts to steal a hefty cache, manage to execute a few extraordinary capers. A tumultuous trip through the Louvre ("beating the American record of nine minutes and forty-five seconds by two seconds") and an impromptu dance routine in a café are only two.

Band of Outsiders DVD at Video Universe French New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard continues his fascination with dime store novels and American crime films with 1964's BAND OF OUTSIDERS, a free-spirited romp in the same vein as the director's breakthrough smash, BREATHLESS. "...The wonderful thing about BAND OF OUTSIDERS is that the daring elements that jazzed audiences then have the same power to intoxicate all these years later..." -- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times More traditional than BREATHLESS in its technical execution, BAND OF OUTSIDERS sparkles with freshness and originality--it uses comical, poetic narration by Godard himself, and has a bouncy musical score by Michel Legrand. www.cduniverse.com /search/xx/movie/pid/5397087/a/Band+of+Outsiders.htm   (578 words)

Chicago Reader Movie Review Band of Outsiders has its sociological elements, but you have to dig for them, and its anti-Americanism is mixed with too much affection for American culture to be taken straight. When Band of Outsiders and Shoot the Piano Player were first released, audiences didn't know what to make of this mix, but when they saw Bonnie and Clyde they were exhilarated by its ambiguities. But a closer look at Band of Outsiders belies or at least complicates such an impression. www.chireader.com /movies/archives/2001/0112/011207_1.html   (1525 words)

La Nouvelle Vague - BAND OF OUTSIDERS Like Shoot the Piano Player, A Band of Outsiders takes its story from an American pulp novel, and it has the same kind of light-on-its-feet quality as Truffaut's second feature. An inspiration to influential American filmmakers like Hal Hartley and Quentin Tarantino, the latter even named his production company after it. Shot in 25 days for $120,000 in early 1964, Godard's seventh feature offered a striking contrast to his previous film, the high-priced and star-studded Contempt. www.laemmle.com /series/french03/band.html   (76 words)

Band of Outsiders movie info - dvds A palatable and light examination of crime, pop culture, and psychology, Band of Outsiders is an enjoyable journey into the life of three mischievous and idealistic youths. Band of Outsiders is an example of how fun a movie can be, and an even better example on how early cinema gave a blueprint for modern classics. Arthur and Franz are an amoral pair who have enlisted the naive Odile in a scheme to steal from her wealthy aunt in this playful French homage to the American genre of film noir. www.mooviees.com /mt/movie.php?id=9513   (891 words)

New York State Writers Institute - Band of Outsiders Film Notes A riff on the gangster film (New Yorker reviewer Pauline Kael famously called it, "a film about a girl and a gun"), Band of Outsiders avoids the glowering sense of doom which permeated the great American gangster films which Godard loved as an obsessive adolescent cinemagoer. Band of Outsiders, oddly, seems at first to return us to the landscape of Breathless, Godard's groundbreaking first film. Both are burlesques of the crime film, but Band of Outsiders shows the deepening of Godard's sense of the absurd. www.albany.edu /writers-inst/fnf03n1.html   (636 words)

Red Lake Indian Reservation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is home to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa, and is the most populous reservation in the state according to the 2000 census when it recorded 5,071 residents. The current reservation is wholly-owned by the Red Lake Band, making it unique among reservations in Minnesota (some tribes own less than 10% of the land on their reservations). The only place in Minnesota with a higher Native American population is the state's largest city, Minneapolis, which recorded 8,378 Indian residents that year. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Red_Lake_Indian_Reservation   (636 words)

Jerusalem Post Breaking News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World Blacks may have invented it, but Jews - as a relative marginal American group - were open to this outsiders' music in a way that other whites weren't. Initially called The Jewish Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the project was met with corporate disapproval by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, who took the organization to court. Their non-profit organization Jewsrock launched its Web site (http://www.jewsrock.org) last month, and has already become a Jewish cultural hit with its hip, irreverent style and features including essays, profiles, photo galleries, a blog and the infamous "Jew or not?" quiz. www.jpost.com /servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/Printer&cid=1120530041976&p=1062388728699   (636 words)

CD Baby: CHERRY MONROE: Cherry Monroe Cherry Monroe's name is taken from two female images from American pop-cultural history-one well known, the other less so. Cherry belongs to the town's privileged and pure mainstream, ordinarily closed to all outsiders, beyond their reach. "Cherry" is the more obscure reference from the red-haired character named Cherry Valance in the 1983 Francis Ford Coppola film, "The Outsiders." The story is about a group of guys from the wrong side of the tracks, on the edge of society. www.cdbaby.com /cd/cherrymonroe   (1124 words)

The Ballad of Bering Strait (DVD) - 856025 Millennium-superstore.com Rich with great music and real-life drama, THE BALLAD OF BERING STRAIT is a funny and infectious look at a group of outsiders in search of the American dream. Emmy-award winning documentarian Nina Gilden Seavey spent three years travelling with Bering Strait, a country band composed of classically trained young Russian men and women, as they make the move from their homes in Obninsk, Russia to Nashville, Tennessee in hopes of finding music stardom. The band seems to be on the verge of achieving recognition as they record their debut record, only to get caught up in a maze of bad record deals, personal struggles, and hard-to-please audiences. millennium-superstore.com /856025_The_Ballad_of_Bering_Strait_DVD.asp   (1124 words)

village voice > music > Say It Loud—Get Off of My Cloud: Dancing With Mr. Brownstones by Frank Kogan And the kids up there in that junior-high rock band were probably as conflicted as I was, as unsure as I where they were in relation to the "heys" and the "yous." The lead guitarist hanged himself several years later—I know nothing about it. But the thing is, people like me weren't the outsiders; we became the Stones' primary audience, or a big hunk of it. Anyway, in general, after 1965 Brown's music became much less eclectic from any source, Euro-American or Afro-American, and I doubt this was due to any disinclination to be either magpie-ish or Europeanized, but rather due to his total commitment to funk. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0002/kogan.php   (1124 words)

Emanuel Levy : DVD - Masculin-Feminin The film’s heroine (Chantal Goya), a wannabe singer, represents an aggregate of several Godard heroines: American Jean Seberg of “Breathless,” Anna Karina’s prostitute in “To Live Her Life” and “Band of Outsiders.” In other words, Godard urges viewers to enjoy individual pieces even if they are not functionally integrated into a clear and progressive narrative form, the norm of most American pictures. Though less beautiful than Anna Karina (Godards’ muse and wife in the early 1960s), Chantal Goya is suitable her part. www.emanuellevy.com /article.php?articleID=380   (1710 words)

'60s Punk: Fufkin.com: Recommendations Although 60s punk was thought of as primarily an American phenomenon, the sound spread around the world, as evidenced by this great band from Holland. The Outsiders proved that the garage punk attitude was an international phenomenon. This, their first album, is a perfect slice of what they were capable of delivering: raw, gutsy garage rock stemming from a love for the blues. www.fufkin.com /recommendations_'60s_punk.htm   (1346 words)

Supersensitive Artists By Mikael Wood Emo is at root an American music, and, in terms of subtlety, its hysterical twentysomethings are the musical equivalent of Yanks who visit the Vatican in Birkenstocks and dark socks. When a tightly knit group of brainy, literate punk rockers centered around the band Rites of Spring invented emo in Washington, D.C., in the mid 1980s, they had a very specific goal: to reinject punk with some of the emotion and theatricality it had lost during the years of strident Reagan-era political engagement. One encouraging byproduct of emo's mainstreaming is that there is now room inside the big tent for outsiders. www.slate.com /id/2122740   (810 words)

PSF Death of a Happy Little Fat Man: Kevin Coyne (1944-2004) As did many of his generation growing up in early post-war England, Coyne fell in love with American Blues and R&B. He played in the pre-Beatles era band the Vulcans in his native Derby, quitting to attend art school. Coyne championed outsiders, not only because he'd shared a clinical setting with them, but because he was one too, and he tried to reflect this life honestly. Throughout his thirty-plus year career, Coyne had been portrayed as an empathetic chronicler of social outcasts writing songs that were, among other things, influenced by the feral immediacy of the Delta blues. www.perfectsoundforever.com /v/2005011/features/99   (810 words)

The Stranger - Film - Feature - A LOVE FOR PARIS Being movie directors, the New Wavers naturally produced a document in the form of a portmanteau film: Six shorts about what turned out to be really the only thing these band of outsiders had in common--namely, a love for Paris.
