Band of Outsiders

Karina stars as Odile, a bored suburban girl who follows two young ne’er-do-wells (Claude Brasseur and Sami Frey), who in turn fall for Odile while enlisting her to pull off a robbery. A robbery, it turns out, in her aunt’s villa.

Charming and exuberant—not words typically associated with a crime pic—the film’s mad dash through the Louvre and impromptu café dance sequence have been mimicked by filmmakers ever since. All these years later, Band of Outsiders remains a cinematic breath of fresh air. (97 mins., digital video)
