The most mainstream film by Godard, probably because it was funded by Americans. Godard, as his cinematographer Coutard said in an interview, felt like sometimes he wasn't doing anything because they had to stick so closely to the script. "Contempt" is definitely less Godard; it is shot-by-shot coherent and contains way less intentional technical faults (of course with the exception of that singing scene where they cut out the music in the middle for dialogue, that was probably the only Godardian trait of the film). A very enjoyable film nonetheless, highly recommend with a serving of wine and cheese.
