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

The best ever love scene in cinema history. It's in french language, italian subtitles and in b/w because I use it for a job and I have it ready in this way. I suggest you try to find the original film. Scorsese cite it in Casino. And Chanel recently did the same for a commercial

who is the actress?

[gabrieleclub]

have a loook at the IMDB :-)

[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.

[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.

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...

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.

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?"

[beatybubble]

@baronio89 Brigitte Bardot of course !

[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.

Brigitte Bardot

@baronio89 Brigeitte Bardot

@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.

@baronio89

She is Brigitte Bardot

[SingHouse]

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

[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
