Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt is unknown who did the voice of the Alpha 60 computer. The voice of Alpha 60 was performed by a man with a mechanical voice box replacing his cancer-damaged larynx who wanted to remain anonymous.
- GoofsWhen questioned, Lemmy Caution states that he drives a Ford Galaxy. It's actually a Ford Mustang.
- Quotes
[English subtitled version]
Alpha 60: Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus.
- Crazy creditsBefore the credits, Jean-Luc Godard adds one letter at a time to compose the word "fin"--"i"..."in"..."fin"--as though to suggest "I, in the end".
- Alternate versionsAlthough composed for the standard European aspect ratio of 1.66:1, the restored Criterion version (which is also broadcast on TCM) is presented full-frame. Presumably cinematographer Coutard anticipated future TV showings and kept the image 1.37-safe (i.e., no visible boom mics, lights or other equipment).
- ConnectionsEdited into Histoire(s) du cinéma: Une vague nouvelle (1999)
Featured review
What can you say that hasn't already been said. The dispassionate pastiche that is Lemmy Caution. The lethargy is exhilarating at times. The photography inventive and startling. The sound design unique and ground breaking. The acting superb. The music fantastique! Love it or get out of here!
