Jean-Luc Godard is one of the true originals in cinema history and the true revolutionary in the French New Wave. With each of his films in the 1960's he tried to completely turn what the moviegoer expected on its head. He knew how the rules had been established and new exactly how he wanted to break them. In Band of Outsiders my favorite example of this occurs about 10-15 minutes into the film. The narrator runs through a series of one-liners to quickly summarize the plot to that point in the film for all the people who strolled into the theater a little late. That detachment is great example of what made him so unique, but is also the kind of thing that many people couldn't stand about him. Rent Breathless, Alphaville and Band of Outsiders and you can make up your own mind.
