More bold! more brazen! and much, much more Bardot!
Film Synopsis
Contempt (1963) follows a screenwriter hired by an American producer to revise a screen adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey. As the screenwriter tries to reconcile the producer’s demands with the director’s vision, his wife joins him in Capri, where the strain between them deepens. This French-Italian marital drama sets the couple’s growing estrangement against the sunlit expanses of the Mediterranean coast.
