“Band of Outsiders. This is a film by Godard, who most people know of his great classic, Breathless, which I adore and love, but many people don’t know Band of Outsiders. And there’s a scene in this that is just incredible. And it’s a group, the outsiders, and they’re doing a dance called the Madison, and there’s a scene where they’re all… and… it’s just unbelievable, worth the price of admission alone. Band of Outsiders. Another must in this great treasure chest.”
