Bande à part (1964) - Dance scene [HD]

What can you say? One of the most eternally fresh scenes in the entire history of movies.

[@vincecorvaia4661]

Imagine that scene being shot in this country today -- 500 cuts from a dozen angles.

[@manofmywords240]

+Vince Corvaia Paul Thomas Anderson would have shot it in one shot.

[@felipemaiden13]

+Vince Corvaia not to mention the hours and hours of dance classes that actors today would need to shoot a nice dance scene like this

[@davidjenkins5770]

They actually rehearsed that scene every day for a month before filming it

[@davidjenkins5770]

Quentin Tarantino named his production company after this movie and has stated how influential it was.

[@WarLasso]

It's funny how you say that in an "offensive" manner -actually back in the days of silent film the editing pace was already often FRENETIC (as in soviet directors, for example). A slower pace with longer shots isn't necessarily better than a faster one with shorter shots. It's what you say with those shots and how do you say what matters.

RIP Anna Karina. An icon of French new wave cinema. She'll be missed by all cinema lovers. One of the most charming actresses of cinema history.

[@Simmons2358]

I did not know she was missing.

Anna Karina one of the most beautiful actresses ever.

[@davidlang1125]

What a great classic piece of filmmaking this is. One shot. No edits. Gorgeous to look at. This was in the day when film was truly expensive - stock, processing and time. Not like the digital world of today. Just have to marvel at Jean-Luc Godard’s creativity. He was a master filmmaker. Sadly, Anna Karina passed away just a few months ago (Dec 14, 2019 in Paris, age 79, of cancer). An era gone. She was so beautiful, she epitomized femininity for me. I think it was this movie, and Anna in particular, that made France and all things French come vividly alive for me when I saw it for the first time in the mid 70’s. Met some filmmaking students recently and they were unfamiliar with the French New Wave, nor the Italian Neorealists, nor the postwar Japanese and English filmmakers. They could only cite blockbuster directors of today. What a shame.

[@gmar55]

I remember seeing this film back in the 70's and this scene has always stayed with me. There's something about I can't begin to describe that resonates deeply. It's nostalgic, funny and COOL - a perfectly rendered moment in cinema!

It took a month of rehearsals to look this spontaneous. Movie making at its finest.

[@flashdelirium2]

I remember seeing this for the first time and at first wondered why the "Madison Dance" scene was so famous. Then the music cut out, and I could still hear the characters' steps and hand claps. For some reason, that just blew me away. It's such a small detail but it feels like it adds so much to this simple scene. It still gets me.

Appreciation: Anna Karina, more than Jean-Luc Godard’s muse, helped define the French New Wave If Anna Karina had done nothing more than dance on-screen, she would be one of the lasting treasures of the cinema. BY JUSTIN CHANG - DEC. 15, 2019 Source: Los Angeles Times

I adore this scene, and come back and watch it over and over. Reminds me of dancing before I was confined to a wheelchair, brings back a little joy. And the look on the divine Anna Karinas face is a joy to behold...

As they dance, left to right, (the great) Claude Brasseur, (the delightful) Anna Karina, (the cool) Sami Frey. One of the greatest dance scene in cinema. Just soooo cool.

This scene alone has its own fandom.

[@renesagahon4477]

That it does

[@byrdlover305]

OMG…I saw this on TV a few years ago and always hoped to see this scene again 'cause I, too, think it was the coolest dance scene ever! I think it loses a tiny bit on the smaller computer screen though so you should see it on a larger screen if you can. I remember what fascinated me the first time I saw it was how the two men executed the same moves in two entirely different ways, one very crisp and the other kind of smoothly and in an easygoing, almost languid fashion. (I know nothing about dance terminology, obviously.) Yet they both looked great. Thanks so much for putting this on KZbin!

La meilleure chose à propos d'Anna Karina est tout!

[@prizzzma]

There´s a documetary about Tarantino where he says that the pulp fiction dance is inspired by this scene, even had to show the scene to Umma Thurman and Travolta so they could catch the emphasis he wanted to give to the sequence.

[@babyupadhayay3192]

Nope it's actually inspired from a scene in maestro fellini's 8 1/2

[@martinXY]

I believe it's also inspired by a dance scene in Reservoir Dogs, set to the song Stuck In The Middle With You.

[@joannasantana8995]

@@babyupadhayay3192 I think both inspired Tarantino! Bande à Part is Tarantino's favorite Godard film, he even had a production company called "A Band Apart Films", the company that produced Pulp Fiction

Came along here since I read Pulp Fictions epic dance scene is a bow to this one in an obituary to Jean-Luc Godard. Certainly cinema developed a bit since then but it might well be just so. Even more as Quentin Tarantinos production company is "A Band Apart".

The best dance scene in a movie. Especially Sami, they were getting heavier into the soulful groove, then Sami stopped. Too bad. I could envision this: At a table, drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette and watching them dance is Jean Pierre Leaud.

I have to say I have not seen Band a part, but I have seen this clip in a KZbin video involving dance in film ( done with Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop The Feeling as soundtrack), though I thought originally it was from some recent film that happened to be in black and white and the girl ( I only saw Anna Karina in Pierrot le Feu and clips of Alphaville) was portrayed by someone else, I love this scene, so fun and spontaneous. Rest in Peace, Anna Karina.

It reminds me of Samuel Becket theater. 1:10 Jean Luc Godard Voice :" It's time to open a a new parenthesis and describe the feelings of the characters. He films the scene as he wrote his script for his actors: The 3 actors dance, here is the choreography (Direction note for the actors: the feelings of the characters) The first part the actors experiment nothing, from 1:10 the actors animate their faces and their bodies according to the direction note of Jean-Luc Godard. Instead of filming the actors completely playing the scene with all the indications, instead of filming the movement + expression scene at the same time. He films the movement scene THEN feeling!
