VHS Movie Reviews of Contempt [VHS]
Movie Review: not good
Summary: 2 Stars
i love great movies. i didn't understand this movie at all. it seemed very indulgent and lacked passion and meaning. it lacked heart and soul. i have seen several french films and they all seem to disappoint in some ways. they share a warped sense of love, relationships and romance that i find wierd and uninteresting. perhaps a better background in the Odyssey and Homer's work is required as it was alluded to throughout the film. don't waste your time with this flick. see something else.
Summary of Contempt [VHS]
With his aptly titled Contempt, Jean-Luc Godard embraced the widescreen splendor of Hollywood while thumbing his nose at Hollywood itself. A rebel with a cause, Godard pursues an iconoclast's agenda, using the Franscope format (expertly controlled by cinematographer Raoul Coutard) to undermine the grandeur of widescreen melodramas. The story ostensibly concerns an innovative production of Homer's Odyssey and the struggle of a respected screenwriter (Michel Piccoli) to please a pugnacious producer (Jack Palance), a veteran director (Fritz Lang, essentially playing himself), and a petulant wife (Brigitte Bardot) who's grown tired of their turbulent relationship. It's all pretense, however, for Godard's mischievous (and yes, contemptuous) deconstruction of commercial Hollywood filmmaking, potently infused with film-buff in-jokes, astute observations about love, stardom, and artistry, and enough glossy style to suggest that Godard had mastered the craft he so willfully rejects. Contempt is one of his most accessibly fascinating films. --Jeff ShannonArt House & International VHS Video
