Directed by: Jean-Luc Godard
Two restless young men (Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur) enlist the object of their desire (Anna Karina) to help them commit a robbery--in her own home. French New Wave pioneer Jean-Luc Godard takes to the streets of Paris to re-imagine the gangster genre, spinning an audacious yarn that's at once sentimental and insouciant, romantic and melancholy. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the convention-flauting postmodern classic Band of Outsiders (Bande à part).

Release Notes on Restoration
Band of Outsiders
Band of Outsiders is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. This new high-definition digital transfer was created from on a Spirit Datacine from a 35mm duplicate negative. The soundtrack was mastered from a 35mm optical soundtrack. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit; audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. The transfer was supervised and approved by cinematographer Raoul Coutard.
