A screenwriter accepts a lucrative job rewriting a film adaptation of The Odyssey, only to watch his marriage quietly unravel in the process. Set between Rome’s film studios and the blazing Mediterranean coast, Le Mépris is a study of love, ego and artistic compromise.
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard and starring Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli and Jack Palance, the film remains one of the most visually striking works of the Nouvelle Vague.

What begins as a hidden assignment becomes an intense study of glances and stolen moments, as the artist finds herself captivated by the woman she is meant to document.

In 1955, French secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath (OSS 117) is sent to Cairo to investigate the disappearance of a fellow agent and to uncover a secret arms deal. Posing as a poultry importer, he blunders his way through Egyptian politics, religion, and espionage. Arrogant, clueless, and politically incorrect, OSS 117 constantly misunderstands local customs, creating both chaos and comedy. Despite his incompetence, he accidentally manages to foil the conspiracy.
“The movie relishes its 1955 look, not just in the costumes and locations, but in such details as special effects and fight scenes, the movie is surprisingly competent in some of the action scenes, when the dim-witted hero turns out to have lightning improvisational skills.” – Roger Ebert
