Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville gets rare big screen outing in Manchester

Alphaville

The Breakfast Club at Manchester's Cornerhouse cinema is still going strong - offering a cooked breakfast (meat or veggie), a drink and a cult film for Sunday lunchtimes. And the next film is an absolute corker - Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville.

This ultra-stylish sci-fi noir finds inter-galactic special agent Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) in Alphaville, the capital city of a distant planet, on the hunt for the mysterious Professor von Braun.

But when he arrives, he finds a planet controlled by Alpha 60, a vast computer which has outlawed 'illogical' trivia such as love and poetry and turned the residents into emotional zombies. Assisted by the professor's daughter Natasha (Anna Karina), Caution's investigations set him on a collision course with the all-powerful machine.

It's showing in Sunday 11th May, with a price of £9.20, including your fry-up.
