So this is an ideal moment to publish this, the first ever full appraisal of Godard's highly influential classic of sci-fi noir.
Chris Darke writes about how, working without sets, special effects, or even a script, Godard made a dystopian vision of a technocratic future city.
He explores the film's unique combination of genres and styles, its remarkable creation the secret agent Lemmy Caution, and uses his new interviews with the director's collaborators to chronicle the film's production.
He also relates Alphaville to Godard's later work, setting it in the context of his wider career and of its influence on other filmmakers and artists.
