Farhad2000This is the famous dancing sequence from Jean-Luc Godard's Bande à part, released in 1964 and known as 'Band Of Outsiders' to the west. The film is serves as a prime example of French new wave cinema, this particular sequence impressed Quentin Tarantino so much that he payed homage via similar scene in Pulp Fiction, and named his production company 'A Band Apart', Jean-Luc Godard himself said that he would have preferred if Quentin Tarantino simply paid him. I love Anna Karina and the scene's composition, cinematography, direction and the actors simply yet oddly hypnotic movements. The seemingly incidental expositionary dialogue and overall sound composition adds to the scene tremendously.
There is a interesting user-made music video remix on the Sift that uses this exact sequence and sets it to the music of bossanova giant Nouvelle Vague. Check it out.
rickegeeI posted this several months ago and it died horribly, but I am rooting for it again.
Lucky is going to nail you for abusing the cute tag, but Odile and the dance are Cute.
Farhad2000Well hopefully the cultural philistines will awaken. And anyways if Ayn Rand made it through the queue this certainly can.

mlxWonderful, thanks for the persistance.
rickegeeBarring a flurry of downvotes, it may finally make it.
And then I expect that farhad will do that particular dance around the room.
silvercordThere ya go . . . over the top.
djsunkidI'm so glad that this is on the sift. I made the mistake of renting Weekend by Jean-Luc Godard and it was absolutely the worst movie I've ever seen, bar none. I definitly want to see some more Godard, since all the movie nerds seem to go on about how great he was, but have been reluctant since that experience. This clip is great.
pigeonjustice is served.
Farhad2000Thanks to PlastiqueMonkey!

DjSunKid, I know what you mean I hated Godard until I saw 'Bande à part', because it turned out to be the most accessible of his films.
And RickeGee, I already have
rickegeeGodard can be painful. I usually prefer other films from people like Tarantino, Hartley, or Wong Kar Wai that reference Godard's quirks.
But Band of Outsiders is completely great and is NOT an ordeal.
