Alphaville- movie DVD -for completists only Jean-Luc Godard's "Alphaville" video is on the Criterion collection, which means that it costs at least ten dollars more than the average DVD. Usually with Criterion, you get lots of extras--sometimes, it seems, almost too many extras.

Jean-Luc Godard wanted to originally name Alphaville as "Tarzan vs. IBM" and as a title that encapsulates the essence of the film splendidly. Tarzan is the rugged, individualistic caveman competing against a faceless, massive and technological army of like-minded drones. It is one of the most fundamental concepts in postmodern theory; the issue of a person's displacement amongst time and space through technological means.
