The TVI Take

Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 dystopian-sci-fi-noir film about a private detective traveling to a future city ruled by an authoritarian AI. The structural commitment to using contemporary 1965 Paris architecture as the dystopian-future setting (no special effects, no science-fiction production design) is the catalog's most-formally-disciplined Godard experiment.
