3/4
"A fine film about the pressures of filmmaking. And it's an even finer film about the tragedy of marital dissolution."

"It's talky and filled with broken rhythms and a running stream of thoughts, and is boldly told in exaggerated stylized terms."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A
"Fritz Lang famously quips that Cinemascope, in which the film is shot, is only good for capturing snakes and funerals, and so we get a film full of slimy, serpentine characters and a memorial service for the cinema."

3.5/4
"While
Contempt
is seen by many as Godard’s most "commercial" or "mainstream" film, it is also one of his most emotionally stirring and deeply felt."

5/5
"Screw
Adaptation
and its lack of temerity.
Contempt
is a meta-movie that places the onus back on the viewer. How are we to sensibly respond, and is there any sense in that at all?"
