Alphaville - 1965 - 7/10
AKA - Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution
[Image: 24mt5hi.jpg]
Secret agent Lemmy Caution arrives in the center of the galaxy, Alphaville, from the Outland.
His mission involves a earlier agent, an Outland scientist, and the calculating Alpha 60.
Though science fiction, and using phrases like inter-galactic, the style is full Noir.
Agent Caution drives up in a Mustang, lights cigarettes with his Zippo, packs a gun, carries a pocket camera.
Men wear trenchcoats or lab coats. Females have numbers tattooed on their neck and most are classified as seductress third class.

Sets are crappy fleabags or sleek, “futuristic” 60s offices. It is forever night.
Alpha 60, a computer that controls and rules Alphaville, would be HAL 9000‘s wet dream. ( Surely Kubrick saw this film.)
If you enjoy poetry readings, boy, are you in for a treat!
Assassinations by swimming pool with synchronized swimmers - check.
If you appreciate extensive talkly passages dealing with identity, conformity, ideas, conscience, this is for you!
Noir swerves headlong into Experimental Theatre. SciFi on a mouse allowance.
Biting satire of films detective - spy - thriller - scifi - romance. Great mix from Godard.
