Godard makes magic here in transforming 1960's Paris into an unknown dystopic landscape. A film of ideas, drawing on everything from Orwell to Marx, and one that is obviously still relevant, if not more so than before. Gets slightly sloppy towards the end, and the emphasis on love as the great solution is a little too contrived..

"Something's not in orbit in the capitol of this galaxy." There is something unavoidably quaint about Godard's essay in hard-boiled sf dystopia, but Alphaville wears its goofiness on its sleeve, and it loses no points for being dated. Kitsch it ain't -- not really, and not only because it's put together with the expected impeccable style. The fact is that we need its surprisingly hokey humanism now more than ever.

Frightening and thought-provoking, because it draws out the budding and sinister future which is already present.

in my top 3 of godard's films. Just wonderful how on a low budget he stills makes Paris look futuristic. Coutard cinemgraphy is wonderful. Karina gives a great performance as does Constantine.

Today I watched this film out of mere curiosity... I had seen WKW's short film " I traveled 9000 km to give it to you" and I'd been wanting to watch Alphaville since it is the movie playing in the theatre where the two lovers meet. What a wonderful surprise this was!!! I absolutely loved it and today I understand where many scenes from WKW 2046 originate from... Today I love Godard a bit more and WKW a bit less...

My first Godard. Didn't much care for it.

I know a lot of people, strangely enough, who started with this one. Not a good launching point. Hopefully you'll still explore his filmography.

Interesting. Yeah, I definitely will. He's far too praised and prominent to dismiss; I still look forward to seeing his other films.

This is Godard's "Wacky" movie...It is so absurd that makes me laugh but I can't stop watching it. Except the pool scene it is extremely original.It does really give the "Alien" effect at most alienating fashion. I really love this movie & it is on my "I miss a lot if I don't see" list.I have absolutely no idea WHY!:- IVAN JOHNSONNNN....!:-)))))
