"This music accompanies shots of a nude Brigitte Bardot that were insisted on by the producers of that film, and it is meant to underline the disappointment and disillusionment felt by both her character Camille and Camille's screenwriter husband (Michel Piccoli). Bardot's Camille lies naked on her stomach and makes a verbal inventory of her own physical splendor, and all we can feel is the way that passion has ebbed away"
"Bardot grew up in a wealthy and repressive family that she rebelled against as a teenager. A brunette beauty, she studied dance and worked as a fashion model before falling in love with the film director Roger Vadim. Her parents objected to their relationship, and this resulted in Bardot attempting suicide, a cry for help or attention that would be repeated several more times in her life. She married Vadim in 1952."
Georges Delerue composed a sweeping, melancholy romantic score for Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt (1963) that accompanies nude shots of Brigitte Bardot to underline disappointment and disillusionment felt by Camille and her screenwriter husband. Bardot grew up in a wealthy, repressive family, rebelled as a teenager, studied dance, modeled, fell for director Roger Vadim, attempted suicide multiple times, and married Vadim in 1952. Bardot gained attention at the 1953 Cannes Film Festival, took small film roles, dyed her hair blonde for Nero's Mistress (1956), and emerged as a groundbreaking star in Vadim's And God Created Woman, a visually luscious film set in Saint-Tropez.
