#50 - Alphaville (1965)

Published: Aug. 2, 2020, 11:50 p.m.

The guys dive into the next film and filmmaker in their new series on art film directors, and this week Jean-Luc Godard is discussed along with his sci-fi film, Alphaville. Raul hadn't seen any previous works and Dan had seen a few but binged a bunch of Godard this week in preparation for the discussion. Cracking Godard can be very tough and distancing with his art-first approach, but this genre film is a rarity in his oeuvre and helped as an easier entry point to a legendarily complicated director.\n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/downtopod/message
