Alphaville

Hard boiled detective Lemmy Caution is sent to spy on Alpha 60, the giant computer complex which governs a monstrous city called Alphaville in Jean-Luc Godard’s surrealist urban nightmare.

Godard's homage to pop art and pulp fiction. Posing as a journalist, hard boiled detective Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) is sent to spy on Alpha 60, the giant computer complex which governs a monstrous city called Alphaville, created by murky Professor Von Braun. Alphaville's slogan is "Silence, logic, safety, prudence"; Godard makes Caution a gallant surrealist in this urban nightmare.
