Not a lot of details yet but this was in their latest newsletter:

"The Blu-ray premiere of Jean-Luc Godard's cool classic Bande í  Part (1964) is released to coincide with BFI Southbank's season of Godard films (running January-March). This essential release features a specially commissioned video interview with Anna Karina, an interview with Quentin Tarantino on the famous dance sequence, and an interview with cinematographer Raoul Coutard."

The Blu-ray is scheduled for March 2016.

Many feel Godard is a director you either love or hate, but I'm kind of in the middle. I generally like his earlier films, and I absolutely adore Vivre sa vie (that jukebox dance scene!), but often find his later more experimental output excruciatingly boring. Never seen this one, but since it's an early 60's film I should probably give it a shot.

You should definitely dig Band of Outsiders, one of the more free flowing and light hearted of the early Godard. Vivre sa vie is my favourite as well btw.
