I'm here again to make some review about the film presented to us last week in our cinema class, Le Mepris. A french film based on the Italian novel Disprezzo (A Ghost at Noon), It is a story of a marriage that has come to an end just because the woman fell out of love.
In the start of the film, the couple Camille Javal and Paul Javal are both so in love to the point that they can sacrifice everything for each other but because of lots of misunderstandings because of the husband's job, problems between the couple started to rise. Paul Javal is a playwright who was hired to rewrite the script of Homer's Odyssey which is to be directed by Fritz Lang. His wife Camille is a very beautiful lady and he was so inlove with her husband but throughout the film she was expressing her hurt and change of heart. Paul had a slow grasp of the source of her contempt which is the main reason of their breakup.
It was a really nice film but I feel like there are some unnecessary scenes that were too long and it just made some parts of the film a bit boring and bland. There are also long pauses between the characters that I believe aren't that important to the film but nevertheless, the whole film was great. Camille's contempt was gracefully executed.
