Criterion News:
Contempt on the Big Screen
On March 14, Jean-Luc Godard’s glorious Cinemascope treatise on love, death, and moviemaking, Contempt, returns to theaters. The film, which Philip Lopate in the New York Times called “One of the masterworks of modern cinema that has influenced a generation of filmmakers, including R.W. Fassbinder, Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese,” will play for two weeks, in a new 35 mm print from Rialto Pictures, at downtown New York’s Film Forum. Click here for ticket info.
