Review of Contempt (1963) by Irvin C — 22 Nov 2009
Godard films tend to fall under two categories for me: The ones that go straight to my favorites of all time and the ones where I go, "That was interesting but I don't get it". I'm happy to say that this film is more the former than the latter.
Friction between a writer and his beautiful wife occur after he gets hired to doctor a script for a Fritz Lang film by an American producer. A perfect companion to Truffaut's "Day for Night", this one casts a far more cynical eye towards the film industry.
Raoul Coutard's color cinematography is gorgeous.
