HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIGITTE BARDOT: LE MÉPRIS (4K RESTORATION)
On September 28th, iconic French screen icon Brigitte Bardot celebrates her 90th birthday and so we thought it only fitting to once again have Jean-Luc Godard’s sublime widescreen drama about marital breakdown Le Mépris return to our screens!
Jean-Luc Godard’s subversive foray into commercial filmmaking is a star-studded Cinemascope epic. Contempt (Le Mépris) stars Michel Piccoli as a screenwriter torn between the demands of a proud European director (played by legendary 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.
