Le mépris
1963
Synopsis
Scenes from a marital breakdown between a screenwriter and his wife, as both become enmeshed in the behind-the-camera struggles of a director and producer as they film an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
Editorial
An iconic, pop-colored exposé of the film industry as only Godard can do. 1960s stars Michel Piccoli and Brigitte Bardot fight and make love during a Fritz Lang (playing himself!) production of the Odyssey at Italy’s famed Cinecittà studios, scored to the most beautiful film music of all time.
