French master Jean-Luc Godard took on Science Fiction as only he could. An agent is sent to Alphaville, a computer-controlled society at war with artists, thinkers, and lovers. There the agent is suspect but also superior to everybody around him. Godard's simplistic approach works without any special effects and gets his points across as usual. There are plenty references to America from the main character to the small details. Eddie Constantine stars with the stunning Anna Karina and Akim Tamiroff. Raoul Coutard is in charge of the camera as usual. 1001 Films coverage of films on DVD.
