Alphaville (1965)



Some notes from Michelson's "Film and the Radical Aspiration"(1966):

- "This film, shot entirely on location, is the film of Dis-location."

-"... a continual play with language transforms things known and seen."

-"... low-income housing developments of post-1945 Paris ... are the clinics and insane asylums of the future ..."

-"The city's peripheral avenues ... shift and expand into an irrevocably disquieting suggestion of the routes of interplanetary space."

-"Function and scale of object and place are continuously altered, as image and sound converge upon site ..."
