Alphaville

February 22nd, 2007 · comment or link to (permalink)

Jean Luc Goddard’s 1965 Science Fiction Film about ‘Alphaville’, a futuristic city on a different planet, that happens to be Paris in 1965.

I have always thought that Goddard was ‘Full of Sheet’, but for some reason this is reasonably interesting.

Running time: 1 hour 40 mins.

A Turkish Movie that blatantly ripped off (actually spliced in) bits of the original Star Wars. An accidental mashup masterpiece.

Running time: 1 hour 30 mins.
