This morning we watched ‘Alphaville’, it is a film by Jean-Luc Godard, and my tutor said it is a good film. I think however, that is only because it is in French, were it in English not directed by Godard, I would have been undoubtedly forgotten. It has the plot of a particularly bad B-movie. It is highly derivative and although there were some interesting shots, most of the shooting made no sense. What were the flashing E = mc2 signs about? Also, there was poetry inserted which seemed to serve no purpose other than to be pretentious. I know I’m probably being a luddite, but this movie really did suck.
