Yes to surrealism! A real cult classic worth watching but definitely not for everyone.

One of the weirdest Godard films but still great. More story than normal for Godard and works so well. Absolutely worth watching

This movie has the most batshit internal logic you’ll ever see.

Might be slow for some. Pretty cinematography and a subtle dystopian world that is masterfully crafted.

While the first third crawls, the last two thirds soar. Godard uses noir and surrealism very well to depict Alphaville's dystopian future.

My favorite Godard. Great to see him go after scifi with such a low budget and large ambitions.

Subtle. Everyone who sees it thinks most of it is boring. But they come away with one memorable line or scene that stays with them forever.

Godard at it’s best, a dystopian future with a message that endures until the present days.

interesting dystopian future set in present France. It’s interesting to wade through what Godard was simply mocking and what was serious
