Band of Outsiders (1964)

Besotted with cheap crime fiction, cinema, and popular culture, bored-to-death English language students Franz and Arthur love living in a dream world. But more than anything, the two layabouts fancy themselves a gang. In the meantime, Franz and Arthur vie for Odile's attention. And when their romantic classmate tips them off about a mountain of cash stashed in an unlocked cabinet in Aunt Victoria's suburban Joinville-le-Pont house, it's game on. As the amateur criminals take an immediate interest in Odile's incidental mention, they devise a plan and iron out the details of an audacious robbery--just like in the movies. However, what happens if Arthur's uncle and all-powerful love stand in the way of the perfect heist?—Nick Riganas
