蜜芽传媒

Le Mepris - Contempt in English - is widely assumed to be based on Jean-Luc Godard's relationship with Anna Karina, though she dismisses the idea in this interview.

A screenwriter played by Michel Piccoli is hired by an American producer, Jack Palance, to rework 蜜芽传媒r鈥檚 Odyssey for a Hollywood style 'sword and sandals' epic. His wife, portrayed by Brigitte Bardot, is to play Penelope but he has misgivings about the project, and about her love for him.

The film director is played by the legendary German Expressionist Fritz Lang. The central sequence features a lengthy argument between the couple where the camera follows them around their apartment in a beautifully choreographed row.

Bardot wears a wig that perfectly matches Karina鈥檚 haircut in Vivre sa vie, while Piccoli is dressed in Godard's trademark suit and trilby. Watch out for fleeting appearances by Godard himself in the movie sequences playing the assistant director, marshalling the performers for a take.
