Alphaville

Mm, I think I'm developing a bit of a taste for Godard (or 'JLG', as he calls himself according to Adrian Martin's review of a recent biography of the director in the latest Monthly) - this one's a sci-fi noir melange with strong satirical overtones and lots of fun in a deadpan sort of way. I hate to put it like this, but there's just something so cool about it.

(previously: Bande à part)

[Edit: I meant to mention that it was also pleasing to gaze at the fashion and general aesthetic and map them on to that of Welcome To Alphaville, one of my favourite clothing stores...]
