Adieu Godard: Contempt

directed by Jean-Luc Godard, FR, IT, 1963, 103 min, French with English subtitles

Adieu Godard. First anniversary of the artist’s death, but this farewell is definitely not definite.

A story of a slow disintegration of a marriage. The scriptwriter Paul Javal and his young wife seem to be the perfect couple. A seemingly harmless incident with a producer will bring the young woman to deep contempt for her husband. Free adaptation of Albert Moravia’s novel.
