Jean-Luc Godard's stylish, offbeat blend of American private eye films, European science fiction, and the Orpheus myth stars Eddie Constantine as hard-boiled shamus Lemmy Caution, whose latest case has sent him to a distant world to track down-and assassinate-the creator of the super-computer that enforces the planet's sterile and morally bankrupt culture. Akim Tamiroff, Anna Karina, Howard Vernon, Jean-Pierre Leaud also star. (StudioCanal UK)

Jean-Luc Godard was such a unique creator that he gave his noir sci-fi a great charge, and the visual side is excellent, even though it is essentially a contemporary world without any major inventions. However, it is about how that world functions, how it is described, and what the characters say. And it definitely is not bad, it's just that the atmosphere had a bigger impact on me than the philosophy, which I did not expect.
