really ironic that brigitte bardot was in a godard film, like im not saying godard was on purpose at least, a master of feminist themes even when some of his films do genuinely explore woman related issues.
contempt is about the slow transformation of love and passion but also the relationship godard has for film itself as it begins and ends with a film crew. godard generally has an understanding on how to write a compelling romance and it slowly builds from the first bedroom scene full of words of passion and love for both mind and body to landscapes filled with hatred and annoyance.
rest in piss bardot.

A philistine in the art film business, Jeremy Prokosch is a producer unhappy with the work of his director. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang to direct an adaptation of "The Odyssey," but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings in a screenwriter to energize the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously composed meditation on the erosion of love and artistic integrity, told through a marriage fracturing under the pressures of ego and commerce. It's a film about watching something beautiful collapse in slow motion.
