Double Feature: Nouvelle Vague & Contempt

French style meets existential Hollywood. Join us for two cinematic meditations on desire, ambition, and the art of making movies.

About Nouvelle Vague:

A playful, poignant love letter to cinema, this film reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless in an exuberant exploration of the youthful rebellion and creative chaos that shaped the French New Wave.

About Contempt:

Contempt (Le Mépris) stars Michel Piccoli as a screenwriter torn between the demands of a proud European director (played by legendary director Fritz Lang), a crude and arrogant American producer (Jack Palance), and his disillusioned wife, Camille (Brigitte Bardot), as he attempts to doctor the script for a new film version of The Odyssey.
