Review of Alphaville (1965) by Robert O — 14 Jan 2008
Jean-Luc Godard is fucking awesome. Alphaville is awesome. Part hard-boiled detective story, part science fiction-- this film encapsulates everything that was amazing about the French new wave. Godard's directorial mastery and flair for the surreal was never more apparent than it was here.
if you like low-budget genre cocktails with Orwellian overtones, then Alphaville is probably one of your favorite films already.
