THE BRIGHTON FILM FESTIVAL
17 NOVEMBER - 4 DECEMBER 2005
CLASSIC REISSUE
A new print of Godard’s dystopian fantasy, a dazzling blend of comic strip,
pulp novel, science fiction and film noir. Ace gumshoe Lemmy Caution (Eddie
Constantine) rockets through space and time to an automated city of the future
ruled by dictator scientist von Braun where
all expression of love, tenderness and individuality has been suppressed.
His mission: to investigate the disappearance of Henri Dickson, a colleague
in his agency and to kill or capture the inventor of the fascist Alpha -60
computer. Shot entirely on location in Paris in 1965, cinematographer Raoul Coutard artfully recasts contemporary
Paris into an alienating dystopic labyrinth of the future.
Writer Chris Darke whose new book on ALPHAVILLE has just been published by
I.B.Tauris will give an illustrated presentation before the screening.
