The 'Madison' dance scene from Bande à part (France, 1964) dir. Jean-Luc Godard

[@gregfloh7732]

Anna Karina, so cool, so beautiful. French movies from the early 60th to the late 70th was measured of all things. ❤

[@MCO18]

One of the defining scenes of French New Wave

I understand Uma and John's dance in Pulp Fiction is parcialy based on this. I can see why.

[@boudusaved4719]

Then you've obviously never seen this!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2XMg2Oue9B4nLM

[@davidwilliamson9462]

Correct

She winds up dancing alone! I will dance with you Anna.

Anna Karina: an actor of easy charm and grace whose presence radiated from the screen In her famous “dance” scene in Bande à Part (1964), directed by her husband Jean-Luc Godard, she is Odile, who meets up with Franz (played by Sami Frey) and Arthur (Claude Brasseur), the people with whom she plans to do a robbery. For no reason at all, for the sheer subversive mischief and fun of it, and partly also because they are a little bored (arguably the motivation for everything else as well), they do an extraordinarily insouciant dance together in the middle of a café. Peter Bradshaw - 15 Dec 2019 Source: The Guardian

Unfortunately, Claude Brasseur, the actor who played Arthur died today. I like this movie as it was the last one I saw in film appreciation class in college prior to the lockdown. Only hope that Mr. Brasseur wasn’t killed by his uncle over money.

Art. Exquisitely done film making

What a classic

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Simple Men is one of my favorites - it's great to see what influenced Hartley.

[@RayManiac90]

I love how Godard break the fourth wall in this movie and play with his audience

[@evacortesborras3236]

Je dois avouer que Godard n'est pas un de mes réalisateurs aimés mais, j'aime cette scène et je l'ai cherchée aussi pour d'autres personnes.

[@rustyshackelford934]

Agreed, this scene is engaging. Vivre Sa Vie is really the only film I got something out of of his, but Bande à part is enjoyable. And Anna Karina is magnetic. I feel he’s very overrated. Style over substance most of the time. Always trying very hard to come off as an intellectual, when most of it is quite banal.

[@malku65]

Is amazing how he narrated the thoughts of the characters while they were dancing , pretty much like Woody Allen did in one scene in Annie Hall while they were talking except that he wrote the thoughts in the screen in 1st person rather that narrate them in 3rd person.

[@stuartauld3193]

Their his characters. His thoughts. His film. Not that amazing. Good film

[@HS22181]

Annie Hall was released in 1977 so Woody Allen did pretty much like what Jean-Luc Gadard did in 1964.

[@stuartlee6622]

The Madison was danced by the gays in Cherry Grove, Fire Island. Back then men weren't allowed to dance holding each other.

[@brendamclain3567]

A rendition of this was done in the My Brilliant Friend series.

[@liznicholas922]

Yes ! And how good was that series !!!

I believe I read somewhere that this dance scene helped to inspire "The Time Warp"...

[@Alex30]

@@jenniferschillig3768 it also inspired the dance scene in Pulp Fiction.

@@tuttt99 huh?

[@cmblitz]

@@davidlang1125 he’s referring to Rocky Horror… when Brad Majors comes on screen, the audience yells “asshole”.

[@poetcomic1]

Godard loved it and called it 'the dance of sexual isolation'.

[@lyann9278]

RIP Anna Karina

[@misstetsuo306]

Il y a cette phrase en ouverture : "Mon pauvre vieux, les empires s'écroulent, les républiques s'effondrent, les imbéciles demeurent". La danse insouciante de la jeunesse se pose alors comme une barricade face au monde ancien.

Is the soundtrack available anywhere?

Tres cool.

[@lesleyscott938]

Oh ....i love this ❤

[@billcook4768]

As with so much of Godards work, so much better without subtitles and not knowing French. Genius filmmaker. As dong as you don’t have to listen to him :)

No, the Uma Thurman & Travolta dance scene was directly copied from Felini's 8 1/2........everyone thinks it's original!

Whats the name of the musical piece?

[@muzmix123]

Brilliant 😎

[@colejohnson5026]

Does this scene become as famous as it is if Odile wasn't wearing the hat?

[@josephcazzuto7198]

So did they film this with no music or did they somehow run the audio while shooting the scene?

[@ifilgoodx]

Yes.

[@patricky823]

My understanding is that it was filmed with no music - the music, foot stomps, and hand claps were added later.
