Le Mepris - Jean Luc Godard

[TheMercredid]

Je t'aime totalement, tendrement, tragiquement.

[JimmyCaravan]

Thank you Ali Ikram...

[GianMarcoTavazzani]

Grazie, Pamela. Che gusto, che eleganza, che musica… e lei… la sua voce, il suo garbo, la sua tenerezza indifesa dai propri dubbi… lui no, te lo lascio tutto, se vuoi; niente, nel suo tono, nella voce, esprime quel che le parole, da lei forzate, dicono.

[jmf459]

I wonder if Godard drew any inspiration from Andy Warhol with the changing colors thing....

[munnytome]

a neophyte to the world of international cinema, im in love with les mepris. the plot the dialogue the scenery the symbolism the characters (Bardot!) godard made an outstanding film here. this is cinema that is saying something. not just explosions gunfights and skanks takin clothes off (all good things) but this has a message. philosophy the arts the gods all come up. im diggin this movie, any other films that are like this?

[Fyyar1]

@munnytome ever watched movies by eric rohmer, they basically apear to have a similar style of telling stories, even though rohmers films have a different aesthetic . but see if like his "circle des 4 saisons" . cheers

[unasensualita]

... j'adore cette video... c'est une scène culte du film... il l'aime "totalement" c'est beau.... ;)

[HustlerPumpkin]

paradoxically, although the film is named "contempt", this scene makes me want to believe in love. simply pure emotion, tenderness

[ateniense7]

Godard's great masterpiece. And Brigitte Bardot is delicious.

[esquibelle]

@Don Farshido

You made my day.

"Contempt" is one of the greatest films of all time. BB, Jack Palance, M. Piccoli, Fritz Lang, all absolutely amazing. Godard is a genius. How they got the cameras up to that house still baffles me.

And "Jackie Brown" is by far the finest film Tarantino has created. That movie kills me every single time, and I've seen it countless times. Can't understand why the masses don't understand the brilliance of all the performers. Amazing.

[AlainNaigeon]

Cette scène me serre la gorge à chaque fois (avec la musique !), et je ne sais pas exactement pourquoi !

[yodder89]

this was my first Godard film.. walked in to the theater, sat down and was in tears within five minutes..

[tedybear335]

Cette scène dans le lit,je ne m'en lasse pas!!

[ralphomat]

Das ist Kunst. Alleine der Vorspann. Die Idee, einen hochwertigen Film in mehreren relevanten Sprachen zu bringen, sollte Schule machen.

[ODUSSEUS69]

le plus beau traveling du Cinéma, avec ceux de

"La soif du mal" de Orson Welles et "le locataire de Roman Polanski.

merci Monsieur Godard.

[podiboq]

Don Farshido, you are completement right. Completement! Les miracles se trouvent pres de nous, meme qu'il y a presque 50 ans que ce film a ete fait.

[BornCrying]

In love with the section starting at 2:27

[DonFarshido]

@the uploader: You seriously think this is not as good as Pulp Fiction? Or not as important in the "timeline of cinema"? I am by no means a Tarantino-hater, there are many current highbrow-directors like Haneke I do really hate, but if T. ever made really great work it's "Jackie Brown". But this one, Le Mépris, is one of the greatest works of the past century and even comparing it to Pulp Fiction or Godard with Tarantino is a silly thing to do, to say the least.

[oorgah]

@DonFarshido Very true. The last two words of the film would resolve such comparisons: "Silencio. Silencio".

[goback3spaces]

@DonFarshido This isn't one of Godard's best. Not nearly as good as BREATHLESS or THE MARRIED WOMAN.

[notahope]

still, godard would need to be in that timeline somewhere... the french new wave directors are surely just as important as the italian neorealists and other movements. it's not about individual directors, it's about movements. tarantino shouldn't be in the list. he just emulates and amplifies mainstream cinema, very little of his films is truly original. thumbs up for godard, and every nation's film output!

[icsprks]

Either way you look at the time line, movements or individuals QT is still, probably, the most important movie maker of the time. along with Roberto Rodriguez, Lawrence Bender, Steve Buscemi and many others of his "movement" - changed the way people perceive movies in a way only de palma, scorsese and copola did a generation earlier (in the US). but whatever.. to each his own.

and yeah thumbs up for great films!

[notahope]

yeah, tis all a matter of taste at the end of the day, and whether a director is influential or not, can only be seen when looking back.

[whynot77777777]

@icsprks

Not to be rude, and this may also be a bit too late of a response, but what? Fellini, Bergman, Godard, Kurosawa? Tarantino will never, I repeat, never, be classified on that level. Americans film to make money, Europeans and Asians (even South Americans) promote an art.

[icsprks]

@whynot77777777 you are talking in generalizations and thats not really intelligent. it is true that hollywood is more of an industry with money making in mind but there is a huge independent cinema and film makers in the USA that are making movies and film for the love of art and not for the love of money, just because you are not familiar with them doesnt mean they do not exist. plus, read film history and you will find out how many american film makers made cinema with a pure heart and mind.

[whynot77777777]

@icsprks

American cinema glorifies the money making aspect. Do not be so naive as to say it is not true. When do you hear about independent films on television or on the news? I have been to many different countries and I can say that art for the sake of art is promoted in Europe/Asia/South America more.

PS: Calling someone out on intelligence when the probability that they are more literate (see your grammar above) and go to a pretty good university is rather ignorant. Logical fallacy :)

[whynot77777777]

@whynot77777777

And thank you providing a good laugh for my film class. They all definitely agreed Tarantino is the greatest (heavy sarcasm). Ciao mate.

[icsprks]

@whynot77777777 okay whatever you are correct american cinema is trash. now go and get a job or something.

[Sakirben]

@whynot77777777 you are absolutely right.

on that level europeans are superior.

[bennyfromthe72]

@whynot77777777 Sorry but you're talking about just one aspect of american cinema, Hollywood, and that's a very stupid shortcut.



[seisdecorazones]

@icsprks Tarantino is very creative and interesting but still his films are collages influenced by the 2.0 era. Nouvelle vague and neorrealists, expresionists, etc were truly revolutions in cinematographic language.

[electrictroy2010]

@icsprks An "ass" is a donkey. The proper word is "arse" if you are translating the French word for butt

[ralphomat]

Ein guter Moment Filmgeschichte. Filetstück für Cineasten. Zeitlos. Kunstwerk.

(Sparsamer, gezielter Einsatz von Grundfarben.)

[Gazs93]

haha! the french have surely never been accused of pretension, they are a modest race with little interest in existential matters portrayed through the medium of stylish cinema... oh wait... great upload by the way, you got anything from vivra sa vie?

[zaodizao]

This is such a very wrong opinion you have not about modesty necessarily but about existentialist matter , that s a long list of movies you have to watch try a francois truffaud or a pagnol movie

[Gazs93]

a) you can't spell

b) you can't detect sarcasm

[otherfool]

Best. Opening. Ever.

[spiritofgabriel]

totally agree with that. Never seen so much quality in an opening. Even Shining's opening isn't that good!

[icsprks]

If the Shinning is our point of reference for good cinema... well.. we might have an embarrassing situation.

[filmfanatic99]

Both the Shining and Contempt are great. Kubrick is the closest America has as a cinema artist. Most American directors are for hire.

[icsprks]

I don't think that the Shining is great and I do not see Kubrick's work as less commercial or more artsy then any other American director and I do not think there is anything wrong with commercial cinema - if I understand correctly what you mean using the vague term "Cinema Artist".

[icsprks]

I know at least 5 American directors that created excellent cinema that was also very successful in the box office, in fact, I think that more then half of the big American directors of our times (or anytime) were no money slaves (and lets not confuse money with success).

[weirdhotshot]

Whoa. Kubrick is amazing. Shining is amazing. This film is amazing.

Crazy French New Wave addicts need to stop downplaying everything else, no matter how good godard is, and believe me, he's good.

[Rachegotter]

nobody's putting anybody down. The ordering of the divines operates naturally. No masses could ever undo the scheme of the God's. That scheme which puts Godard and the French on the top of good cinema.

[icsprks]

while I was hoping for an intelligent discussion I ended up with pile of a non elegant arguments which left me with nothing but a sense of contempt.

[17Valjeans]

@filmfanatic99 you act as if there aren't any good ones. americans history of cinema is far bigger than any other countries, therefore a lot more directors, and there are truly a lot of great ones. as there are truly a lot of great foreign directors.

[Gazs93]

it was a little pretentious of you to disregard the shining, it may be a lesser work from kubrick but it's still regarded as a work with high artistic qualities. i am in agreement though that contempt surpasses it :D

[icsprks]

It might not be a great movie without any regards to anything, simply by itself. and if it is being regarded as a work with high qualities by books and critics.. well.. no body is perfect...

I don't think it is good enough to use as a meaningful point of reference on the time line of cinema as let's say.. Pulp Fiction or "Les enfants du paradis" by Marcel Carné /Jacques Prévert.

[travisangeli]

great movie..a classic..j'ai lu un des film prefere d'actrice francaise Nathalie Baye:)

we have good taste:)

[polinkasuperova]

beautiful i love i love i love a true classic

[Juanma16490]

3 min del culo de Brigitte Bardot... creo que subestimé el cine intelectual, Godard SE LA BANCAAA

[haasxaar]

the music just wraps you up and carries you away....

[icsprks]

True.

[reveurealiste]

Un des moments parmi les plus touchants de l'histoire du cinéma. Ce film est un véritable cadeau.

[paduaprs]

merci,

j'aime le cinema de jean luc godard.

je revenu au mon passé et je veux moi-même au cinema de porto alegre.

mon professeur balthazar 1 fois.

merci mademoiselle,

antonio

[llickthestars]

I love you totally, tenderly, tragically

[luzecky]

you can find the music on the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's "Casino"

[Rarab2]

It's called Theme De Camille. The second song. It was used during the credits of Casino. Great stuff.

[Pierrestoy]

Does any one know the name of this opening song?

[AlainNaigeon]

@Pierrestoy It's the music specifically written for the film by Georges Delarue

[edmund184]

What is the music at 3:03 please.

[Aggelos14]

la musique c'est theme de camille de georges delerue

[luzecky]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema ever made. Thanks for posting this with the English subtitles.

[icsprks]

True. I warmly agree with that statement.

[victor170769]

I agree too. Just to see this scene and to say Godard is great.
