About this title

Synopsis

Struggling with a film script, and finding himself the buffer between an ambitious director and a money-crazed producer, Riccardo Molteni has just been told by his wife that she no longer loves him. As they move to Capri, where the film is to be shot, worrying parallels develop between the script and their relationship as it is pushed to the brink. This compelling tale of the precarious nature of love and integrity was filmed by Jean-Luc Godard. Starring Brigitte Bardot, "Le Mpris" is considered a classic of the French New Wave.

Reviews

Moravia is red hot! In the past year, roughly half a dozen of his books have been reprinted by numerous publishers. In addition to being highly acclaimed novels, both these titles were the basis of popular European films.
