Jean-Luc Godard's CONTEMPT - Matinees at the Music Box
Advertisement
*2 Shows Only - Saturday August 8th & Sunday August 9th at 11:30am*
Scenes from a marital breakdown between screenwriter (Michel Piccoli) and his wife (Brigitte Bardot), as both become enmeshed in the behind-the-camera struggles of a director (Fritz Lang) and producer (Jack Palance) as they film an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
“A once-a-century cultural constellation!”
- Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
“HAS THE GLOW OF GREATNESS...An acid satire, an act of worship...Sports the nimbleness of comedy, strolls defiantly in the direction of the tragic...Why this should break the heart I have no idea, but it does.”
– Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
