Reviews for Alphaville
Mr. Godard's conclusion that love -- good old love -- conquers all is a curiously disappointing finish for such an initially promising film.
05/09/05
These ideas are more prevalent than ever, which tends to horribly date Alphaville against its more thought-out successors like A Clockwork Orange and Blade Runner.
07/16/02
New Wave classic. Set bold new standards. Whatever.
08/29/05
A poetic, funny, and visually inspired blend of sci-fi, detective-film satire, and political allegory.

Unforgettable.
09/13/07
This cold war allegorical sci-fi film is imaginatively made and proves that sometimes the most mundane images can become dazzling in the right context.
04/29/04
It remains an outstanding example of the filmmaker's power to transform an environment through the selection of detail: everything in it is familiar, but nothing is recognizable.

Top CriticOne of the better Godard films.
08/14/02
It works both as a philosophical treatise on politics and film as well as an entertaining and often amusing look at a future overrun by technology.

Packed to the brim with imagination, particularly the insane 2nd half.
12/22/03
One of Godard's most sheerly enjoyable movies, a dazzling amalgam of film noir and science fiction.

Godard's avoidance of conventional science fiction architecture, in favour of what was actually available within Paris 1965, is his way of commenting on the city, what it was doing to its inhabitants, and what they were in danger of becoming.
01/01/00
A perfect example of Godard shaking up convention and exploring new ways of making cinema, Alphaville is challenging in places and thematically familiar in others.

Esta fascinante mistura de noir, 1984 e Admirável Mundo Novo filosofa, como Solaris faria sete anos depois, sobre a natureza do homem e suas contradições.
