Band of Outsiders

Goddard Anna Karina

I know many cinephiles admire this guy's films but they miss me completely. I found this to be crude, amateurish, self-indulgent...not even good enough for a student project. It was obvious the actors didn't have a script to use...their inane prattlings quickly became annoying.

The camera work was high school level. Scenes were held too long. The characters constantly moved around to no apparent purpose except that, hey this is a motion picture, isn't it? What is it others see? Goddard is famously quoted as saying all one needs to make a movie is a girl and a gun. No my friend...you also need a brain and some sense of what an audience is willing to sit through.

Terrible.
