...Jean-Luc Godard has cross-generic fun throughout this dark political allegory, as he blends lowbrow pulp with intellectual paranoia and hypocrisy.

The hypnotic visual devices certify the dreamlike nature of the entire project. "Alphaville" flickers and rolls through the mind, like a memory of a nighttime drive.
