équipe de copains

[scootlette]

Hello there!

Does "équipe de copains" mean anything more than a band of friends?

It's used in this context...
Par-delà le mythe de l'<<équipe de copains>>, ceux de la bande des Cahiers du cinéma...

Merci d'avance

Bonjour,
Je dirais plutôt : "Par- delà le mythe de la "bande de copains" de l'équipe des Cahiers du Cinéma.

Bonjour,

That's interesting you say that Maudalice...

The "équipe de copains" in this context specifically refers to the time of the Nouvelle Vague in French cinema (led by François Truffaut). I’m supposing someone previously labelled the group as it’s quoted as a myth.
