French new wave cinema the equivalent of bebop. That is not an original thought
Evidently, NW filmakers love american hard boiled detective novels (ironically, this uniquely american genre bears a french name, roman noir)
Trenchcoat wearing, gun toting private eye looking Lemmy Caution travels to the galaxy alphaville to wreakchaos, overthrow thetyrannocal supercompiter Alpha 60.
Lemmy Caution is the epitome on manhood, an ultraviolent super sexually charged force that disrupts life in Alphaville like a natural disaster (or maybe he is anarchy? A modern regicidal agent sent to disrupt the soulless world of logic, science, prudence and something else). Throughout the film, Caution stoicaly dispatches the random assains that seem to materialize out of no where. He is also constantly fending off who appear randomly to through themselves at him.
He has no time for these government agents of destruction and seduction.
What book the beatnick was reading ?
