From Jean-Luc Godard, the influential director of "Breathless", "Contempt", "Band of Outsiders" and "Pierrot Le Fou". American secret agent Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine,"Attack of the Robots") is sent to the distant space city of Alphaville, where he must find a missing person and kill the inventor of fascist computer Alpha 60. Anna Karina ("The Nun") and Akim Tamiroff ("After the Fox") co-star in this cockeyed fusion of science-fiction with pulp characters and surrealist poetry. Godard’s irreverent journey to the mysterious Alphaville remains one of the least conventional films of all time. Beautifully shot in glorious black-and-white by Raoul Coutard ("Jules and Jim", "First Name: Carmen").
