Government agent Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) is dispatched on a secret mission to Alphaville, a dystopian metropolis in a distant corner of the galaxy. Caution is hot on the trail of rogue agent Henri Dickson (Akim Tamiroff) and a scientist named Von Braun, the creator of Alpha 60, a computer that uses mind control to rule over residents of Alphaville. Caution is aided in his quest to destroy the despotic computer ruler by Von Braun's own daughter, Natacha (Anna Karina). (Umbrella Entertainment)

Jean-Luc Godard was such a unique creator that he gave his noir sci-fi a great charge, and the visual side is excellent, even though it is essentially a contemporary world without any major inventions. However, it is about how that world functions, how it is described, and what the characters say. And it definitely is not bad, it's just that the atmosphere had a bigger impact on me than the philosophy, which I did not expect. ()
