J.L. Godard - The depreciation / The contempt (Le Mepris)

[MisterSimnock]

There's a very funny parady of this on the Fast Show ... in fact the reverse parody would be funny too, i.e. Bridget Bardot saying "Does my bum look big in this?"

[filmfanatic99]

What happenend to european cinema? Ever since the great masters passed on we are left with the same films being made over and over again, or genre pieces to appeal to the masses. I know that there are some innovators still, but Godard was right on his prediction, although like Nostradamus, he was a little early, 40 years perhaps.

@filmfanatic99 have you seen any of Gaspard Noé's work? Irreversible, Carne, they're pretty good.

[MannySteinerBleeky]

@filmfanatic99 - it seems to be the same as for anything else - there's some core people that do things, and justnow for example, what those same souls are doing won't be known of in any mainstream anything - by the time it gets picked up on standardised and copied, those people will be doing something else in some other area.

[Nicolette28LB]

What a perfect scene... I keep wanting to re-watch it because of the song Contempt by the Books, they do a great job putting this scene into a song

[lamonalisadu51]

je ne sais pas quoi dire tellement c'est beau ...

[StoryeTime]

It's more a hate scene than a love scene, she gets bored of him, he doesn't challenger her, that's what the movie is about...

[parigiroma]

bellissimo film.....

[domenicoscot]

that was pretty boring.nothing happened,they just lay there talking nonsense.

[fifikikilili]

hahaha.....hahaha.....that is funny. hahaha.....still laughing. to enjoy it, you have to buy into the pretense of this art or you love Godard. by the way, i like this scene. the lighting is beautiful and the music, more beautiful. it is quite lovely.

[delpol]

La versione italiana è devastata da una colonna sonora simil-jazz che sostituisce la bellissima musica di Delerue, fu rimontata, stampata in colori diversi e accorciata di 20 minuti, ma bisogna dire che anche i nudi della versione orginale furono imposti da Ponti per ragioni commerciali...

[chickiesgrettagirl]

Great love scene. A great film

[CANNARINASSASINA]

questa parte e' censurata nella versione italiana vero?

[gabrieleclub]

Sai che non lo so. So che ne esiste una versione rimontata e con un'altra colonna sonora, fatta su indicazione di Carlo Ponti, il produttore.

[CANNARINASSASINA]

Ponti? il produttore di aceto?

[darkgirl83]

Sì sì, è censurata. Un film deformato dai tagli del produttore, la versione italiana. Consiglio a tutti di vederlo in originale con sottotitoli!

[CANNARINASSASINA]

eheh storia del cinema rulez

[egon9229]

@CANNARINASSASINA

Esatto, una volta arrivato nelle mani di Carlo Ponti il film viene considerato inaccettabile e così viene "italianizzato" censurando e rimontando intere sequenze (perdendo così il senso logico iniziale). Per questo motivo in Italia sono circolate subito delle versioni in lingua francese sottotitolate in italiano. Lo stesso Godard, una volta vista la versione italiana di Ponti, ha rinnegato la paternità del film.

[mattttttti]

unforgetable scene

unforgetable music also

[gabrieleclub]

Yes, especially the music, in this case I think it's really a part of the film, a part of the meaning of this film.

[MariamFQ]

Ce film est incroyable

[CANNARINASSASINA]

-mi ami totalmente?

-totalmente, teneramente, tragicamente-

[brigittebardot2007]

[gabrieleclub]

[brigittebardot2007]

viva bardot es unica y extraordinariamente bella

[venusgiovanni]

grazie mille posso anche leggerlo in italiano

[gabrieleclub]

bene, mi fa davvero piacere, grazie a te...

[dreamboy555]

This music means a lot of things for me, it makes me feel big , and in another way, makes feel a sensation of glory ,and victory.

[gabrieleclub]

Yes, means really a lot to mee too. If you want to find this music, the only way it is to buy the original soundtrack of "Casino" the Scorsese film. tnx for the subscription. ciao

[jeaupin]

she has the nicest butt

[gabrieleclub]

I love the music (originally composed for the film in this version) and the dialogue: they know their love is gonna end but they're telling each other love words. I know Godard will kill me for that description.
