Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Stephanie ZacharekPossibly Godard's most melancholy film and probably his most beautiful ...
Independent (UK) - 10/10 by Geoffrey MacnabThe miracle here is that for all its use of irony and self-reflexive devices, Le Mepris still ends up with a considerable emotional punch.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranInevitably a melancholy film, but a memorable one as well.
ToxicUniverse.com - 10/10 by Jeremiah KippScrew 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?
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAn expensive international production, but still one of Godard's most personal and most perverse films.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Ty BurrWhat's the price of selling out? Contempt asks the question of its characters, its audience, and its own director.
Little White Lies - 10/10 by Wally HammondA knowing, tragic-comic aria for love and moviemaking.
Observer (UK) - 10/10 by Jonathan RomneySteeped in melancholy and a sense of mourning.
The List - 10/10 by Emma SimmondsIf Le Mépris lacks the uninhibited character of, say, Breathless, Pierrot le Fou, or Alphaville it undoubtedly makes up for it in emotional potency.
CineVue - 10/10 by Martyn ConterioGodard was the artist who tore cinema apart and rebuilt it to suit his own interests and ends.
