An aspiring screenwriter finds himself caught between the director and the producer on a movie adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey in Jean-Luc Godard's subversive foray into commercial filmmaking.

Contempt stars Michel Piccoli as a screenwriter whose marriage to his wife (Brigitte Bardot) begins to disintegrate during movie production as she spends time with the producer (Jack Palance). As layered conflicts between art and business, fact and fiction, contempt between all parties begins to bubble to the surface...

Dubbed by Sight & Sound critic Colin MacCabe as“the greatest work of art produced in post-war Europe”, Godard's tragic Technicolor wonder is a sight to behold.
