Le Mépris
From Sat 10 to Sun 25 JanUnusually cast and playfully shot, Godard’s masterly hymn to cinema features Michel Piccoli and Brigitte Bardot as a couple whose marriage begins to fall apart while they are both on the island of Capri during the shooting of a film directed by Fritz Lang. As Camille, Bardot splendidly chips the male clichés over women in this legendary part.
These screenings are dedicated to the late Brigitte Bardot. A short season will be announced soon.
