Published: Jan. 25, 2021, noon

This is a big one that we\u2019ve been waiting for: Jean-Luc Godard\u2019s highly influential, widely lauded, experimental, sci-fi/noir mashup. \xa0Hard bitten detective Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine)has traveled through space in his Ford Galaxy to Alphaville, to uncover the mystery of a missing scientist. He finds a a strange, sterile, funhouse mirror of 1965 Paris, ruled by a cold omnipresent computer. \xa0Will the emotional awaking of Natacha von Braun (Anna Karina), the scientists daughter be enough to save the day and get Caution out alive?

If you\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing David Lynch\u2019s\xa0Eraserhead\xa0(1977).
