Jean-Luc Godard’s subversive foray into commercial filmmaking is a star-studded CinemaScope epic. Le Mépris stars Michel Piccoli as a screenwriter torn between the demands of a proud European director (Fritz Lang), a crude and arrogant American producer (Jack Palance), and his disillusioned wife Camille (Brigitte Bardot), as he attempts to doctor the script for a new film version of The Odyssey.
