Description of this Contempt Movie Poster
Contempt is a 1963 French New Wave drama film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, based on the Italian novel Il disprezzo (A Ghost at Noon) by Alberto Moravia (1954). It stars Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli, Jack Palance, and Giorgia Moll.
Paul Javal, a young French playwright who has found commercial success in Rome, accepts the offer of vulgar American producer Jeremy Prokosch to rework the script for German director Fritz Lang’s screen adaptation of The Odyssey.
Paul’s wife, Camille Javal, joins him on the project’s first day at Cinecittà. With initial discussions complete, Prokosch invites the crew to join him at his villa, offering Camille a ride in his two-seater sports car. Camille turns to Paul to decline the offer, but he obediently withdraws to follow in a taxi, leaving Camille and Prokosch alone. Paul doesn’t catch up with them until 30 minutes later, explaining that he was delayed by a traffic accident. Camille is uneasy, secretly doubting his honesty and suspecting he is using her to strengthen his ties with Prokosch. Her doubts are heightened when she sees Paul groping Francesca, Prokosch’s secretary. Back at their apartment, Paul and Camille discuss the subtle unease that has grown between them during the early hours of the project, and Camille suddenly announces to her bewildered husband that she no longer loves him.
Hoping to rekindle Camille’s love, Paul convinces her to accept Prokosch’s invitation to join them for the shoot in Capri. Prokosch and Lang are at odds over the proper interpretation of Homer’s work, an impasse exacerbated by the communication difficulties between the German director, the French screenwriter, and the American producer. Francesca acts as interpreter and mediates all conversations. When Paul sides with Prokosch against Lang by suggesting that Ulysses actually left home because of his wife’s infidelity, Camille’s suspicions about her husband’s subservience are confirmed. She deliberately lets him find her in Prokosch’s arms, and in the ensuing confrontation, she declares that her respect for him has turned to contempt because he traded her for Prokosch. He denies this accusation and offers to sever his connection with the film and leave Capri, but she does not retract her offer and leaves for Rome with the producer. After a car accident in which Camille and Prokosch are killed, Paul prepares to leave Capri and return to the theater. Lang continues to work on the film.
