This 1964 feature remains one of Godard's most appealing and underrated films, relatively relaxed and strangely optimistic.

Band of Outsiders
Overview
Cinephile slackers Franz and Arthur spend their days mimicking the antiheroes of Hollywood noirs and Westerns while pursuing the lovely Odile. The misfit trio upends convention at every turn, be it through choreographed dances in cafés or frolicsome romps through the Louvre. Eventually, their romantic view of outlaws pushes them to plan their own heist, but their inexperience may send them out in a blaze of glory -- which could be just what they want.

Delivers one clever idea atop another.

It's as if a French poet took an ordinary banal American crime novel and told it to us in terms of the romance and beauty he read between the lines.
Pauline Kael, The New Republic

The structure of the film feels like freedom. And truth.
