Don't get in the car! But the fateful decision of an ambitious screenwriter (Michel Piccoli) to let his young wife (Brigitte Bardot) ride in a red Alfa with a lecherous movie producer (Jack Palance) bodes poorly for their marriage. Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 classic Contempt is about many thin...

In 1963's "Contempt," Michel Piccoli plays Paul, a screenwriter asked to salvage an ill-fated production of "The Odyssey." Critics have since been connecting the dots between the film's lead character and its director, Jean-Luc Godard, engaged at the time in his own Homeric wrestling match with angry producers.

So, we arrive at Contempt, the oft-revived, oft-praised pinnacle of the first portion of Godard's 60s; some might argue of his entire career. Even when placed amidst his more aesthetically unified earlier works, Contempt still stands out for presenting...

Your films, swimming in magnificent light and splendid women, need no explanations. One of your titles sums them up perfectly: The Uncertainty Principle . Strange and sublime metamorphoses recur in your work; changements à vue , as they say in theater, changes in plain sight. (...) Please excuse me. I'll cite one single example of the Oliveira Touch. It's in I'm Going Home , with the great Michel Piccoli....

They recently released Some Came Running on DVD. Vincente Minelli’s icy hot movie with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley McClain. It was based on a novel by James Jones and it has become an iconic movie, mainly for me because of Dean Martin. Check it out and see what being cool in Technicolor in [...]

As the date for the announcement of this year's Cannes line-up comes closer, Todd McCarthy of Variety has given some alternate updates from my previous post of speculation and anticipation. It looks as though Steven Soderbergh's twin pics, Guerilla and The Argentine , will not be ready in time for a premiere in May, and Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona has some financial issues which will prevent...

There’s a great article in the New Yorker about the relationship and feud of these two superstars of the New Wave.Check it out if you can. I recently watched Contempt on TCM. It was pan and scan and not a great copy but the stunning power of the film rang through clear as a bell. [...]

Contempt was one of those films that blew me away from the first frame. It was my first experience of a Jean-Luc Godard film and really nobody warned me about anything about this iconic film. Godard brings forward a sort of fearlessness that no one else can. Contempt was the first commercial venture for Godard, [...]
