# Alphaville (1965)

1965 · 89 min · Drama, Science Fiction, Crime · France, Italy

Original title: Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution
Part of: Lemmy Caution

## Synopsis

Alphaville is a 1965 French New Wave tech noir film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and starring Eddie Constantine, Anna Karina and Akim Tamiroff. The film combines the genres of dystopian science fiction and film noir. There are no special props or futuristic sets: instead, the film was shot in real locations in Paris, the night-time streets of the capital becoming the streets of Alphaville, while modernist glass and concrete buildings represent the city's interiors. Although the film is set in the future, the technologies used and the corporations and events mentioned in the film place them firmly in the 20th century; for example, Caution describes himself as a Guadalcanal veteran.
