The French New Wave was alive and well in 1964, and no better proponent of that fact can be found than Jean-Luc Godard’s Band of Outsiders. Filled with Godard’s frisky sense of humor, his tacit flaunting of cinematic conventions, and a bittersweet tale typical of his storytelling acumen of that time, Band of Outsiders weaves its own kind of special spell. It’s not as brazen or as compelling as Breathless, but its whacked-out skew of a triangle love story with nods to Romeo and Juliet is nevertheless quite arresting.
