Alphaville

Alphaville drops us into a shadowy future city where reason has conquered emotion and poetry is a forbidden language. Eddie Constantine’s Lemmy Caution stalks its corridors like a noir ghost, out of step with the cold logic of Alpha 60. Anna Karina’s Natacha brings a fragile spark of humanity to a world intent on extinguishing it. With minimal means and maximal imagination, Godard turns Paris into a chilling warning about a future without love or mystery.
