French screenwriter Paul is hired by an American producer to write a more "widely accepted" adaptation of “The Odyssey”, directed by none other than Fritz Lang himself. His wife, Camille, thinks he is using her to gain the producer’s favor — and starts to despise him.
Art versus commercialism, European cinema versus Hollywood — and love versus personal ambition. Godard, drawing from Alberto Moravia’s novel, delivers a philosophical, melancholic masterpiece set against the backdrop of Capri. Stunning B.B. delivers an unforgettable performance and Michel Piccoli is brilliant in the role that established him.
