Le Mépris (Contempt) is by far my favourite movie, peak cinema. Absolutely stunning Mediterranean cinematography, beautiful coastal and indoor shots, a decent plot with Odysseus in the background, and certainly not hurt by Brigitte Bardot's onscreen presence. Overall unbeatable aesthetics.

Watching it is like taking a short vacation. Phenomenal.

I had the same feeling when watching Pierrot le Fou (the only Jean-Luc Godard film I watched, possibly new wave...). It was introduced by a french colleague of mine, during a very small international film festival in Dublin early 2000. I wasn't into any art house movies but it made such an impression on me that I always had a nice (and saturated colourful) memory of the film.

And that score by Delarue, so beautifully haunting.

Hm, I'll be honest in the spirit of JLG's unabashed expressions of desire for the opposite sex. I reached for it because of Brigitte Bardot, but it is a solid film.

My absolute favorite JLG is "JLG/JLG".
