Content:
Paul Javal wird engagiert, um das Drehbuch eines ins Stocken geratenen Filmprojekts zu überarbeiten. Nach einem Treffen lädt der Produzent den Autor und seine attraktive Ehefrau Camille in seine Villa ein. Weil Javal nichts gegen die Annährungsversuche des Produzenten unternimmt, glaubt Camille, Javal würde für seine Karriere sogar seine Ehefrau "verkaufen". Jean-Luc Godards Film ist eine ebenso komplexe wie einnehmende Reflexion über das Filmemachen und die Welt des Kinos. Das Werk besticht durch seine konsequente Farbdramaturgie und den schöpferischen Reichtum eines unentwegt fabulierenden Jean-Luc Godard. Erstmals auf Blu-ray und inklusive interessantem Bonusmaterial! (Arthaus)
Content:
Extras: - Introduction by Colin MacCabe (SD, 5:31) Writer and producer Colin MacCabe gives a brief sketch of the film's production and explain how Le mépris' large budget ties in to its relative conventionality compared to Godard's other films. - Once Upon a Time There Was...Contempt (SD, 52:28) Featuring fascinating interviews with the always frank Godard̶who chain smokes cigars throughout̶Once Upon a Time is an enlightening history of Le mépris that combines a documentary-style narrative with Godard's own thoughts about the film. This is essential viewing for all Godard fans. - Contempt...Tenderly (SD, 31:31) Though somewhat redundant considering the exhaustive nature of the previous documentary, this making-of special features a few new insights by way of French writer Alain Bergala, who discusses the often under-acknowledged influence of Alberto Moravia's novel on Godard's film. - The Dinosaur and the Baby (SD, 1:00:57) How often do you get to hear two titans of cinema chat about their work for an hour? Here, Fritz Lang and Jean-Luc Godard̶the dinosaur and the baby, respectively̶discuss everything from censorship and filmmaking philosophies to practical scene blocking techniques. Their eight-part conversion is intercut with scenes from M and Le mépris. The highlight of the bonus features, in my opinion. - Conversation with Fritz Lang (SD, 14:27) Made on the set of Le mépris, this brief, vintage EPK-style featurette shows Fritz Lang discussing the role of a film's producer, amongst other things, but he seems slightly annoyed by the interviewer's often-obvious questions. More notably, get to see an alternate take of the scene where Prokosch throws a film reel like a discus. - Booklet Taking a cue from Criterion's classy inserts, Le mépris includes a full color 18-page booklet with an essay by Ginette Vincendeau.
