Watch the Titles: Band Of Outsiders

French Fridays on Watch the Titles updates with the Main Title of another classic of French cinema, Godard’s Band À Part – a low budget crime flick that was strongly influenced by American B-movies in the heist genre. The fast sequence of jump-cuts used in the first part of the opening titles produce an almost stroboscopic effect, which is must have been quite disorienting to viewers who watched the movie on the big screen.

French Fridays curator Laure Magalie takes a closer look at this ‘petite piece’ of French motion art.
