Synopsis
For our next meeting we fast-forward to the 60s. Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, ALPHAVILLE is a 1965 French New Wave SciFi neo-noir film.
Lemmy Caution, an American private-eye, arrives in Alphaville, a futuristic city on another planet. His very American character is at odds with the city's ruler, an evil scientist named Von Braun, who has outlawed love and self-expression.
ALPHAVILLE available to rent for $3.99 from most major streaming sites. Here’s a link to page with various streaming options: https://www.moviefone.com/movie/alphaville/20003432/where-to-watch/
