Double Feature: BAND OF OUTSIDERS (BANDE À PART), February 17, 2013

Sunday, February 17 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: BAND OF OUTSIDERS (BANDE À PART), 1964, Rialto Pictures, 97 min. French New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard told his backers he was delivering a sequel to BREATHLESS, but instead he created this offbeat meditation on politics, philosophy and the American gangster movie. Combining playful slapstick with sudden bursts of violence, this tale of three bumbling thieves (one of whom is played by Godard's then-wife and muse, Anna Karina) is one of the director's most original and entertaining works. Musical score by Michel Legrand. In French with English subtitles. {35mm}
THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, 1968, Park Circus/MGM, 102 min. Dir. Norman Jewison. One of our favorite guilty pleasures from the 1960s: Steve McQueen stars as bachelor supremo Thomas Crown, who’s just pulled off the perfect multimillion-dollar bank heist - until he runs into mondo-chic insurance investigator Faye Dunaway, who can’t decide whether she wants to make love to him or throw him in the slammer! Features some of the grooviest split-screen images ever, courtesy of director Jewison and co-editor Hal Ashby, with beautiful cinematography by Haskell Wexler. {35mm}
