It's funny how you say that in an "offensive" manner -actually back in the days of silent film the editing pace was already often FRENETIC (as in soviet directors, for example). A slower pace with longer shots isn't necessarily better than a faster one with shorter shots. It's what you say with those shots and how do you say what matters.

RIP Anna Karina (1940-2019)

It took a month of rehearsals to look this spontaneous. Movie making at its finest.

I like that Anna K. keeps going after the two swains have given up. Who needs them, Anna?

Rip Jean-Luc Godard. Really enjoyed this movie in Film Appreciation in college.

What a great classic piece of filmmaking this is. One shot. No edits. Gorgeous to look at. This was in the day when film was truly expensive - stock, processing and time. Not like the digital world of today. Just have to marvel at Jean-Luc Godard’s creativity. He was a master filmmaker. Sadly, Anna Karina passed away just a few months ago (Dec 14, 2019 in Paris, age 79, of cancer). An era gone. She was so beautiful, she epitomized femininity for me. I think it was this movie, and Anna in particular, that made France and all things French come vividly alive for me when I saw it for the first time in the mid 70’s. Met some filmmaking students recently and they were unfamiliar with the French New Wave, nor the Italian Neorealists, nor the postwar Japanese and English filmmakers. They could only cite blockbuster directors of today. What a shame.

I remember seeing this film back in the 70's and this scene has always stayed with me. There's something about I can't begin to describe that resonates deeply. It's nostalgic, funny and COOL - a perfectly rendered moment in cinema!

I remember seeing this for the first time and at first wondered why the "Madison Dance" scene was so famous. Then the music cut out, and I could still hear the characters' steps and hand claps. For some reason, that just blew me away. It's such a small detail but it feels like it adds so much to this simple scene. It still gets me.

This scene will always be iconic. RIP Anna.

I adore this scene, and come back and watch it over and over. Reminds me of dancing before I was confined to a wheelchair, brings back a little joy. And the look on the divine Anna Karinas face is a joy to behold...

There´s a documetary about Tarantino where he says that the pulp fiction dance is inspired by this scene, even had to show the scene to Umma Thurman and Travolta so they could catch the emphasis he wanted to give to the sequence.

OMG…I saw this on TV a few years ago and always hoped to see this scene again 'cause I, too, think it was the coolest dance scene ever! I think it loses a tiny bit on the smaller computer screen though so you should see it on a larger screen if you can. I remember what fascinated me the first time I saw it was how the two men executed the same moves in two entirely different ways, one very crisp and the other kind of smoothly and in an easygoing, almost languid fashion. (I know nothing about dance terminology, obviously.) Yet they both looked great. Thanks so much for putting this on KZread!

Hommage tout particulier en ce jour à Claude Brasseur🍃 !! Et à Anna Karina partie l'année dernière 🌿 Une merveille cette danse !!

Came along here since I read Pulp Fictions epic dance scene is a bow to this one in an obituary to Jean-Luc Godard. Certainly cinema developed a bit since then but it might well be just so. Even more as Quentin Tarantinos production company is "A Band Apart".

RIP Jean Luc Godard! Your films will continue to be indelibly etched in our consciousness for decades to come. 🙏🏾

Au revoir Anna Karina

The best dance scene in a movie. Especially Sami, they were getting heavier into the soulful groove, then Sami stopped. Too bad. I could envision this: At a table, drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette and watching them dance is Jean Pierre Leaud.

Recently plunked down $50 for the Criterion blu ray of this. Worth every penny.

Augustin this post brings me much joy. Thank you.

Brilliant. Astonishing that the scene goes on for as long as it does.

Love the hat and the bow in Karina's hair.

One of the greatest scenes in movie history. As long as you don’t understand French and have the subtitles turned off.

always wanted to see this scene. It's what inspired director Jim Sharman to have Richard O'Brien add the number of "The Time Warp" into the original Rocky Horror Show stage play :)

Anna FOREVER Karina

Randomly stumbled onto this. I have no idea what is going on, but what a great scene.

I love this scene! It's great to see characters dancing in a movie just because they want to and enjoying the moment! instaed of most movies, especially American movies dance scenes has to be some sort of perfect Fred Astaire shit or something, I watch this scene every now and then, it makes me want to join in as it looks like a lot of fun to spontaneously get up and do a cool little dance number like they are doing!

I have to say I have not seen Band a part, but I have seen this clip in a KZread video involving dance in film ( done with Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop The Feeling as soundtrack), though I thought originally it was from some recent film that happened to be in black and white and the girl ( I only saw Anna Karina in Pierrot le Feu and clips of Alphaville) was portrayed by someone else, I love this scene, so fun and spontaneous. Rest in Peace, Anna Karina.

Magnifique!

When they filmed that sequence I imagine that they would have expected a reasonable audience at the time.... but I doubt they could ever have appreciated the true size of the audience.... that it would still be being enjoyed 57 years later.

superb

Very iconic scene ..

It reminds me of Samuel Becket theater. 1:10 Jean Luc Godard Voice :" It's time to open a a new parenthesis and describe the feelings of the characters. He films the scene as he wrote his script for his actors: The 3 actors dance, here is the choreography (Direction note for the actors: the feelings of the characters) The first part the actors experiment nothing, from 1:10 the actors animate their faces and their bodies according to the direction note of Jean-Luc Godard. Instead of filming the actors completely playing the scene with all the indications, instead of filming the movement + expression scene at the same time. He films the movement scene THEN feeling! It's Totally Godardest: Bringing Contemporary Literature and Theater to Cinema: No Rules That Stifle Creativity
