Alphaville

One of Godard’s most inventive movies, Alphaville blends sci-fi and film noir to winning effect. Godard shot the film on location in Paris, which Raoul Coutard turns into an icily dehumanised city of the future. Hollywood B-movie icon Eddie Constantine plays Lemmy Caution, a secret agent sent to overthrow the rule of Professor Von Braun, inventor of the Alpha-60 computer. En route, Lemmy meets the professor’s daughter (Anna Karina, of course), who is incapable of loving. Godard has fun playing with genre conventions while continuing his life-long exploration of the relationship between sound and image, love and society.
