Synopsis

Our take

Shot during the filming of Godard’s Contempt, Jacques Rozier’s kaleidoscopic collage of Brigitte Bardot zooms in on the emergent phenomenon of the paparazzi. Marshaling a playful yet biting critique of celebrity culture, Rozier shows how the media blows everyday situations out of all proportion.
