More Movie Taglines:
- Suddenly the word is Alphaville... and a secret agent is in a breathless race against the Masters of the Future.
Movie Quote(s):
- Alpha 60: Sometimes reality is too complex for oral communication. But legend embodies it in a form which enables it to spread all over the world.
-
Alpha 60: Time is like a circle which is endlessly described. The declining arc is the past. The inclining arc is the future.
-
Alpha 60: Everything has been said, provided words do not change their meanings, and meanings their words.
-
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.
-
Professor Von Braun: Men of your type will soon become extinct. You'll become something worse than dead. You'll become a legend.
Movie Trivia:
- Professors Heckel and Jeckell are named after the cartoon birds "Heckle and Jeckle", created by U.S. animator Paul Terry (of "Terrytoons" fame).
-
Professor von Braun's real name, Leonard Nosferatu, is a tribute to F.W. Murnau's silent film, Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922).
-
Despite the fact that the film is a work of science fiction and supposed to be in a city of the future, all the sets were existing locations in Paris in 1965, and all the weapons are conventional firearms.
-
Godard originally wanted Roland Barthes for the role of Professor von Braun.
-
The line by Alpha60 that begins "Time is the substance of which I am made" is paraphrased from the 1946 essay "A New Refutation of Time" by famous Argentinean writer and fantasist Jorge Luis Borges, which reads: "Our destiny is not frightful by being unreal; it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges."
