Jean-Luc Godard mashes up sci-fi and noir to create something very much like a mid-’60s Godard film. Pug-faced Eddie Constantine plays a hard-boiled private eye dispatched to the titular future city on a mission who encounters a somewhat dystopian reality that closely resembles mid-century Paris. Both a time
capsule and a visionary future. -Lee Gardner
