Contempt
“More bold! More brazen! And much, much more Bardot!”
DramaRomance
Art film producer Jeremy Prokosch, unhappy with the work of his director, hires Fritz Lang (as himself) to direct an adaptation of The Odyssey, but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb, he brings in a screenwriter to energise the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.
VIBE
A sun-drenched, melancholic exploration of love's fragility amidst stunning Italian vistas. It feels like a beautiful, slowly unfolding tragedy, rich with unspoken desires and the quiet erosion of intimacy. The visual poetry and reflective pace invite deep contemplation on human connection and disillusionment.
