Alphaville (Motion picture : 1965)

In this amalgam of sci-fi comic strip and film noir, tough American intergalactic secret agent, Lemmy Caution, goes on a mission to discover the fate of his predecessor in computer-run Alphaville, which recreates the legend of Orpheus and Euridyce (see Cocteau's Orphee). Coutard's photography of nocturnal Paris, 1965, creates Godard's sci-fi dystopia. Long bureaucratic corridors are Kafkaesque labyrinths of power at the centre of which lies death. The film is built on contrasts - between straight lines and circles, Max Steiner-like romanticism and discordant noise, between the super ego (Alpha 60) and the suppressed id (Lemmy). Lemmy is a reference to the popular arts where human qualities linger in a dehumanised world. Lemmy finds himself in a dictatorial computer-run society dedicated to technology where love and poetry are banned.

  • "Drame de science-fiction. L'agent secret Lemmy Caution arrive à Alphaville, capitale d'un monde de l'avenir pour y rechercher le savant Von Braun disparu des Pays extérieurs. Il s'aperçoit vite que tous les habitants vivent comme des robots sous le contrôle d'un cerveau électronique, Alpha 60. La fille même de Von Braun, Natasha, lui sert de guide à travers la ville.

  • "Using the format of a spy/science fiction thriller, this film shows man's alienation in a highly technological society ruled by computers."
  • "Feature film from France. Drama. Sci-fi. Secret agent Lemmy Caution travels to another galaxy and finds himself in a computer-run society which is dedicated to technology and outlaws emotion."
  • ""A cockeyed fusion of science fiction, pulp characters, and surrealist poetry, Godard's irreverent journey to the mysterious Alphaville remains one of the least conventional films of all time. Eddie Constantine stars as intergalactic hero Lemmy Caution, on a mission to kill the inventor of fascist computer Alpha 60. Criterion's edition of this seminal film features a new digital transfer" -- Container."
  • "Lemmy Caution, an American private-eye, arrives in Alphaville, a futuristic city on another planet. His very American character is at odds with the city's ruler, an evil scientist named Von Braun, who has outlawed love and self-expression."
  • "Futuristic fantasy about a special agent who travels across space to find out what happened to his predecessor, and finds himself in a loveless society."
  • "In this amalgam of sci-fi comic strip and film noir Lemmy Caution, intergalactic agent, on a mission to computer-run Alphaville, recreates the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice (see Cocteau's Orphee). Coutard's nocturnal Paris, 1965, becomes Godard's sci-fi dystopia. Long bureaucratic corridors are Kafkaesque labyrinths of power at the centre of which lies death. The film is built on contrasts - between straight lines and circles, Max Steiner-like romanticism and discordant noise, between the super ego (Alpha 60) and the suppressed id (Lemmy Caution). Robin Wood has commented that Lemmy is 'less a character than a reference' - to the popular arts where human qualities linger in a dehumanised world."
  • "A story which unfolds in a utopian world of the future. Alphaville is governed by a totalitarian system in which the individual counts for almost nothing, and an alienated society has no use for art, poetry, love, or even thought. People are reduced essentially to the level of robots."
  • "Lemmy Caution is an inter-galactic private eye on a mission to kill the inventor of the fascist computer, Alpha 60."
  • ""L'agent secret Lemmy Caution est envoyé en mission par les autorités des pays périphériques dans la cité futuriste d'Alphaville pour tenter d'y faire revenir le professeur Braun."

  • "Godard uses the science fiction genre, and borrows from American cinema, Cocteau, Kafka, and the unforgotten Fascist past to present a vision of the future. Lemmy Caution, an intergalactic special agent, travels to mysterious Alphaville to investigate the disappearance of a member of Caution's agency. Discovering that Professor Von Braun rules the ultra-conformist Alphaville with the aid of his computer Alpha 60, Caution destroys the man and the machine. Godard uses Alphaville, an alienated society where art, poetry, love or independent thought have no place, as a metaphor for Paris, 1965."
