25 - Alphaville (1965)

This is a big one that we’ve been waiting for: Jean-Luc Godard’s highly influential, widely lauded, experimental, sci-fi/noir mashup.  Hard bitten detective Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine)has traveled through space in his Ford Galaxy to Alphaville, to uncover the mystery of a missing scientist. He finds a a strange, sterile, funhouse mirror of 1965 Paris, ruled by a cold omnipresent computer.  Will the emotional awaking of Natacha von Braun (Anna Karina), the scientists daughter be enough to save the day and get Caution out alive?

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1977).
