Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution Alphaville Jean-Luc Godard 1965 France In the future, an intergalactic secret agent visits a city run by a computer machine in search of his predecessor. Superbly shot and in love with not only itself but with Cinema in general; there is a fine moment when our hero enters a glass lift and ascends to the floor above, with the camera following in one smooth motion in the adjoining lift. It requires rewatches to be appreciated as a commentary on memory, love and knowledge, but it must be admired for turning contemporary Paris into an unrecognisable, distopian future.
