What is Contempt / King Lear about?

CONTEMPT (LE MEPRIS) 1963, Rialto Pictures, 103 min. The brilliant color palette is almost as ravishing as Brigitte Bardot in this masterpiece by director Jean-Luc Godard. Bardot plays Camille, a woman whose marriage to her screenwriter husband comes to an end over the course of a day on the Isle of Capri. With a beautiful Georges Delerue score. In French with English subtitles. KING LEAR, 1987, Park Circus, 90 min. Dir. Jean-Luc Godard. Shakespeare’s tragedy serves as a jumping-off point for this strange deconstruction of film and storytelling. Noted theater director Peter Sellars stars as a descendant of the Bard of Avon working to restore his ancestor’s plays in a postapocalyptic world; he finds inspiration in a gangster Don Learo (Burgess Meredith) and his daughter (Molly Ringwald).
