Eccentric pop culture homage/parody from Godard. Probably the first postmodernist science fiction movie.

Look I can't fool you into thinking I'm any kind of Godard expert, but I think 'Breathless' is wonderful, and I like both science fiction and film noir. So here we have 'Alphaville', still one of the strangest and most fascinating movies ever made. Eddie Constantine ('The Long Good Friday', 'Europa') is brilliantly cast as tough guy caricature Lemmy Caution sent on a mission to Alphaville, capital city of the galaxy, where love and poetry are outlawed. Caution is seeking renegade scientist Von Braun (Jess Franco regular Howard Vernon) Alphaville's dictator. Along the way he forms an odd relationship with Von Braun's estranged daughter Natacha (Godard regular and ex-wife Anna Karina), and fights a battle of wits against supercomputer Alpha 60. The plot is simple enough but Godard's approach to the material is anything but. Mixing parody and philosophical discourse, filming this future city in present day (mid-60s) Paris, and infusing the movie with sly references to everything from comic books to Jorge Luis Borges, makes this puzzling viewing and difficult to classify. Alternately boring and fascinating, with quite a large amount of quirky humour, 'Alphaville' is arguably the first postmodernist science fiction movie. I can't wholeheartedly recommend it but it's worth a look. Whatever you think of it this movie is definitely unique!
