''Alphaville: A Strange Adventure of Lemmy Caution'' is a 1965 UsefulNotes/FrenchNewWave film by Creator/JeanLucGodard, starring Eddie Constantine and Creator/AnnaKarina. A GenreBusting work that mixes {{dystopia}}n ScienceFiction and FilmNoir, the film is considered one of the [[UrExample Ur-Examples]] of {{Cyberpunk}}. The film uses no special props or futuristic sets, instead having been shot on in location in Paris, the night-time streets of the capital becoming the streets of Alphaville, while modernist glass and concrete buildings -- things that to a 1960's French audience were still rather novel and strange architectural designs -- represent the city's interiors.
