After exploding onto the cinema scene in 1960 with the jazzy, freeform Breathless, Jean-Luc Godard returned with Contempt, which follows a producer and art film philistine, Jeremy Prokosch, who hires Fritz Lang (starring as himself) to direct an adaptation of The Odyssey. When Lang's picture seems destined for box office failure, a new screenwriter is hired, and his kowtowing to Prokosch creates conflict with his wife, played by Brigitte Bardot at the height of her cat-eyed allure. The colorful flick, set in Capri, will screen in a fresh 4K restoration.
