A propos de cet article

Two vintage borderless reference photographs from the set of the 1963 French film, one showing actor Jack Palance in Ray Bans and one showing Palance with Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli, Giorgia Moll, and Fritz Lang. With provenance stamps on the verso, along with manuscript ink and pencil annotations identifying photographer Ghislain Dussart. Based on the 1954 Italian novel "Il disprezzo" ("A Ghost at Noon") by Alberto Moravia. Director Jean-Luc Godard's lush Technicolor landmark, the film that transformed Brigitte Bardot from a sex symbol into an art object, while also furthering Godard's own reputation for being the most commercially successful deconstructionist in film history. A fascinating film that can be watched either as a narrative about a disintegrating relationship or as an unending series of pure cinematic references. One 10 x 8 inches, two 9 x 7 inches. Near Fine. Criterion Collection 171. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema. Rosenbaum 1000.
