movie, Alphaville

One of the most influential science fiction films that most people haven't seen, Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 "Alphaville" is a combination film noir, social satire and riff on tough-guy movies, set in a world of nonstop night. It's named after its setting, a technocratic dictatorship. Newly rereleased in a restored version, it's a disorienting, often unnervingly quiet and patient film that deliberately tries to induce a dream state in its audience, to the point of seeming to hypnotize them with repetitious bass-voiced narration and alternating black screens and closeups of flashing lights. Like a lot of great science fiction movies, it's more of an experience or vibe than a coherent set of philosophical or political ideas. And it's more valuable now for how it recorded the anxieties and curiosities of the time when it was made than for the predictions that it got "right" or "wrong" (though it should be said that the film's main storyline, which is about the fear of sentient technology taking over ever aspect of human life, feels unnervingly current).
