Le Mépris (Contempt) by Jean-Luc Godard (1963)


Le mépris translates to the english word contempt which means means disregarding something or looking at it with disdain.

The film is directed by French-Swiss director Jean-Luc Godard who is often connected 'Le Nouvelle Vague' or New Wave cinema.

Much of the film is filmed at Villa (or  Casa) Malaparte, designed by Adalberto Libera for Curzio Malaparte although supposedly his designs were rejected by Malaparte and he built the house himself.
