Contempt (1963)

Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

“More bold! More brazen! And much, much more Bardot!”

Drama, Romance · 1h 43m

Art film producer Jeremy Prokosch, unhappy with the work of his director, hires Fritz Lang (as himself) to direct an adaptation of The Odyssey, but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb, he brings in a screenwriter to energise the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.
