Think I must have seen that film ten times or more, never occurred to me that Mills is too old. He's supposed to be the experienced one so it sort of makes sense.Quote:

Just shows how the art of making good films is being lost - even when they've got bucket-loads of money to spend.
in reality tho he signed up in 39, and was in the royal engineers where he became an officer and was release on health grounds in 42. so he was right age for it, just not in 58...lolQuote:

Does it really matter? I don't think so. Won't ruin a good film or make a bad one better.
Agreed.

Quentin Tarantino named his production company, A Band Apart, after this film.
Godard described it as "Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka"
Film critic Pauline Kael described Bande à part as "a reverie of a gangster movie" and "perhaps Godard's most delicately charming film"
It's not a film I have seen, but I'm not sure if I could describe anything by Godard as "delicately charming ". :lol:Quote:

Contrary to legend, this movie did use artificial lighting in some scenes (for example, when Bryan (David Morley) learns he's getting a horse). However, it is true that no electronic lighting was used for the candle-lit scenes. A lens built by the Carl Zeiss Company for N.A.S.A., a 50mm Zeiss lens modified with the Kollmorgen adaptor used in still cameras, was used to shoot scenes lit only by candle. This lens had the largest aperture of any ever built for movie use (f/0.7).
Stanley Kubrick used to play the soundtrack's classical music during takes to get the actors and actresses in a better mood. He was reportedly influenced by Sergio Leone's method in Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).
Superb film!Quote:
