New Wave Sci-Fi

French 'New Wave' masters Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut may be best know for meditative dramas like Contempt and Jules and Jim, but these legendary auteurs also had a penchant for science fiction. This series of special screenings features Truffaut's flawed but still remarkable Fahrenheit 451 (1966) and Godard's satiric Alphaville (1965), which marked the high point of Eddie Constantine's peculiar acting career. Recommended for anyone looking for a quick escape from reality over the holidays.
