Alphaville (http://www.faithfulandtrue.de) |
|||
Lemmy Caution, an Outland agent, battles against a rigged system in search of Professor von Braun. This dystopic setting provides viewers with a dark thriller, a comic pastiche of detective films, a love story and sci-fi all rolled into one. Godard's films were received by a portion of the public during the 60's. This could have been due to the fact that his visions and ideas conformed to the future ‘new wave' artists. Sometimes cult films are poorly reviewed in their origins but have growing fan bases in other countries. Alphaville is one of those films that has been appreciated as a great film in the western hemisphere and has received cult status even though it may not be perceived that way in France. SIGNATURE LINE – Alpha 60 “Everything has been said, provided words do not change their meanings, and meanings their words.” Godard`s Alphaville |
