Xian C. @Filmclass Jun 28, 2026 The camera has a LTR with Bardot’s bare derrière, which is entirely understandable. It begins at the start of the film and makes repeat appearances. Palance is excellent as an American film producer and total boor. Bardot’s husband is almost as bad. Were they products of their time or horrible men, or both? I had trouble following the plot with many references to mythology, plus the language changes between French, Italian, German and English fairly often. The subtitles are thin and seem to leave a lot of the story out. I must confess I fell asleep half way through the film. It’s visually quite appealing but the plot is depressing.

That song felt transcendent and in the first few seconds I felt like I was in for something big: thinking that Godard may have some lofty views when it comes to the art of cinema. But that's not true- he's doing this for himself and material like this doesn't age well. Et mon Visage?

Bardot is stunningly attractive in her role with a forceful attitude and gorgeous curves! See more Read all reviews
