Review of Alphaville (1965) by Bruce B — 21 Nov 2009
This is a movie selected from the Criterion Collection, Spine NO #25, so its an early pick. Movie was filmed in 1965 a French entry. Most say this is a Sci-Fi Movie, didn't appear that way to me. Kind of a Orwell 1984 type movie, A man who appears to be a secret agent named Lemmy Caution is sent from the outlands to destroy a computer (Alpha 60) that is controlling everyone and everything.
To me it was slow and boring, most movie from Criterion Collection I can blend with and take an interest, this one just didn't work for me. Will have to give director Jean-Luc Godard another try further down the road.
3 stars on this one.
