Description of this Contempt Film Poster
Le Mépris 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 the vulgar American producer Jeremy Prokosch to rework the script for the adaptation of the Odyssey for the screen by the German director Fritz Lang.
Paul's wife, Camille Javal, joined him on the first day of the project at Cinecittà. When the initial discussions are over, Prokosch invites the team 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 him in a taxi, leaving Camille and Prokosch alone. Paul only catches up with them 30 minutes later, explaining that he was delayed by a road accident. Camille is uncomfortable, she secretly doubts his honesty and suspects that he is using her to strengthen his ties with Prokosch. Her doubts are accentuated when she sees Paul groping Francesca, Prokosch's secretary. Back at their apartment, Paul and Camille discuss the subtle unease that developed between them during the first hours of the project, and Camille suddenly announces to her disconcerted 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 filming in Capri. Prokosch and Lang are in conflict over the correct interpretation of Homer's work, an impasse exacerbated by the difficulty of communication 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 Odysseus actually left home because of his wife's infidelity, Camille's suspicions of her husband's servility are confirmed. She deliberately lets him find her in Prokosch's arms, and in the ensuing confrontation she states that her respect for him has turned to contempt because he swapped her for Prokosch. He denies this accusation and offers to sever his connection with the film and leave Capri, but she does not retract 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.
