Plot

A screenwriter's marriage falls apart while he works on a film adaptation of the Odyssey.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jean-Luc Godard's study of a collapsing marriage is a colourful, melancholy film about cinema itself. Brigitte Bardot is luminous, Fritz Lang appears as himself, and Georges Delerue's score is unforgettable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
