Le Mépris - Totalement Tendrement Tragiquement (2007)

This documentary on Godard's Le Mépris features, among others, a contribution by Godard's former assistant director, Charles Bitsch, who discusses the genesis of the film. Interesting points are made about Godard's use of colors, his references to antiquity, and to Le Mépris as a work of self-reflexive cinema. Godard scholar Alain Bergala explains how Godard had intended to posit Le Mépris at a turning point in film history, "perhaps the last 'great' film", with its emphasis on characters as "instances" (the young couple, the American producer, the great German director).
