INDEPENDENT FILM FOR INDEPENDENT MINDS

Alphaville tells of a French agent from the 'Outlands' called Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) who seems a retrogressive take on the American private-detective of the thirties and forties. Caution is direct and fully in charge of his actions - he uses his accompanying handgun to prove this. However, upon visiting the land of Alphaville, on a mission to assassinate the scientist in charge Professor Von Braun (Howard Vernon), Lemmy is repulsed by the way of life, where creativity and individualistic expression has been replaced by total logic, expressed ruthlessly by Alphaville's main think-tank computer Alpha-60.
