This 4K restoration of Jean-Luc Godard’s (Breathless, Pierrot Le Fou) new-wave masterpiece, Le Mépris, has been released to celebrate the film's 60th anniversary.
A landmark in world cinema, and set around the extraordinary Villa Malaparte on Capri, Le Mépris tells the story of the tragic romance between Paul (Michel Piccoli) and his wife, Camille (Brigitte Bardot). Paul is enlisted the task of re-writing a film script. Whilst he becomes engrossed in writing, he appears oblivious to the film producer’s interest in his irresistibly beautiful wife, Camille. In turn, we witness the hurtful unfolding of Paul and Camille’s marriage.
The supporting cast includes Fritz Lang, Jack Palance and Giorgia Moll.
