Contempt ( Le Mepris )

Aka "Le Mepris". Featuring Brigitte Bardot in a tale of film producer Jack Palance making a film directed by Fritz Lang (who plays himself in the film) which, in Godard's words, is the story of men cut off from themselves, from the world, from reality. They try to clumsily rediscover the light but are trapped on a dark stage.
