ALPHAVILLE

Full Bleed French Grande (47" x 63")
Very Fine- Folded; Artwork by Jean Mascii
Athos, 1965

This country-of-origin French grande boasts artwork by master Jean Mascii, which cleverly uses a muted gray palette echoing the essence of the film.

On the verso, cloth tape supports the upper edge and fold lines. There are tears on the left and right edges of the bottom quadrant. Additionally, there is fold separation at the cross folds and edges.

Nouvelle Vague doyen Jean-Luc Godard brought his distinctive vision and style to science-fiction with this unique film noir and dystopian world-building hybrid. One of his best-loved films, Alphaville, takes a classic trenchcoated detective (played by American actor Eddie Constantine) and places him against the backdrop of a technocratic dictatorship.
