A lot of this film is self-involved and overly-intellectualized. If you know a bit of the backstory of the film, it's more fascinating, as there are a lot of interesting parallels between the romantic storyline here and Godard's real life. I give it three stars for the avant garde 30 minute scene in the couple's apartment, which creates emotional cues out of everyday action and gets to the heart of the film in an observational, non-intrusive fashion. Weird conclusion, but I guess I get it.

The wife has contempt for her husband. He has contempt for a script he's supposed to work on for a film. The Director of the film has contempt for the Producer. The Producer has contempt for how the script is translating to the movie. There are other contempts throughout. We're supposed to think of The Odyssey. This is thought-provoking or crap. Watcher's choice.

My first Godard and Bardot movie. It didn't prompt me to see more. It took several years for me to move past this, even though this film is considered a masterpiece. Upon a second viewing, I understood and liked it more. It is about Camille (Brigitte Bardot) who is pimped out by her husband-producer, to receive more money for a film he is working on. She is outraged and there are disastrous consequences for all.
