Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution, 1965. A secret agent investigates a city (or maybe a planet?) ruled by a computer.
Written & directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Starring Eddie Constantine.
Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 0/4 (Terrible). If you remove the poetry and philosophy, you're left with almost nothing.
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good). I might say great, if it weren't for the random shots in negative.
Special effects/design: 1/4 (Bad). If you watched it with the subtitles off, you wouldn't even know it's a science fiction film. I don't know if Godard means to be doing that for some sort of effect, or if he just doesn't care about his budget restrictions. Either way, it doesn't work.
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, 1/4). A pretentious, boring mess.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.6/4 (Eh)
