Encyclopedia > Band of Outsiders

Bande à part, or Band of Outsiders, is a 1964 comedy / drama / French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, adapted from the American 1950s pulp fiction Fools' Gold by Dolores Hitchens.


Described by Godard himself as "Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka," the film is considered one of the foremost of the French new wave.


Plot

Odile (Anna Karina) meets wannabe criminals Arthur (Claude Brasseur) and Franz (Sami Frey) in an English language class and the two men persuade Odile to assist them in staging a robbery.


One of Godard's loveliest and most accessible films, it is best known for its Madison dance sequence (which inspired Quentin Tarantino and Hal Hartley) and a record-breaking nine-minute run through the Louvre, a scene which Bernardo Bertolucci pays homage to in his 2004 film The Dreamers.

The Outsiders (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (204 words)
Two rock and roll bands in the 1960s used the name The Outsiders, one from Ohio and one from Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
The Ohioan Outsiders would be best classified as frat rock, and had hits in the United States with "Time Won't Let Me" (covered by Iggy Pop in the 1980s) and the near-soundalike "Lost in My World", as well as a cover of The Isley Brothers' "Respectable".
The Dutch Outsiders were heavily influenced by British Invasion-era blues-rock acts like The Animals and Them.
