Alphaville (1965)

Director:  Jean-Luc Godard
Writer:     Jean-Luc Godard
Language: French
Its a sci-fi/noir film in which Lenny Caution (Eddie Constantine) is a spy from the outlands posing as a journalist to kill the ruler of the Alphaville, a technocratic dictatorship where Logic is the ideology. It took me a while to understand the film as initially I thought the subtitles were bad when the dialogiues looked bad. But it was meant to be so with the people in Alphaville speaking like machines without few emotions. Its a brilliant film considering the time it was made and sometimes it reminded me of Bladerunner as well.

Rating: 4/5
