Two restless young men (Frey and Brasseur) enlist the object of their desire (Karina) to help them commit a robbery—in her own home. French New Wave pioneer Jean-Luc Godard takes to the streets of Paris to reimagine the gangster genre, spinning an audacious yarn that is at once sentimental and insouciant, romantic and melancholy. Godard presents Legrand in the credits with the ominous introduction, “For the last time on screen.” While the film hardly signaled an end to Legrand’s career, it did mark his final major collaboration with Godard and features one of the coolest dance numbers in the history of cinema, which provided inspiration for later filmmakers such as Hal Hartley and Quentin Tarantino.
