Review of Alphaville (1965) by Drew R — 08 Sep 2014
Cool fact: HAL 9000 and 2001 Space Odyssey were influenced / inspired by this movie and its evil robot, Alpha 60. Cool, huh? The movie itself is unique for sci-fi in that there are no special effects and a distant future planet looks and acts like the 1960s France.
.. except the whole love, tears, individuality being illegal thing. Apparently this film largely influenced BladeRunner and other dystopian / postmodern sci-fi works, so I salute it. That said, the computer speaks in a burping voice (no, really, look it up) and it's really gross and annoying throughout the film.
Also, Anna Karina is the love interest and doesn't get a lot to do.
