BRIGITTE BARDOT. JEAN-LUC GODARD. FRENCH NEW WAVE PERFECTION.
Few film posters capture beauty, cinema and pure wall presence quite like this.
LE MÉPRIS / CONTEMPT (1963)
Original French Grande
Artwork by Gilbert Allard
47 x 63 inches (120 x 160 cm)
Widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of the French New Wave, this magnificent country-of-origin French Grande features a breathtaking illustration of Brigitte Bardot at the absolute height of her beauty, fame and cultural influence.
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, based on the novel by Alberto Moravia, and starring Bardot alongside Michel Piccoli, Jack Palance and Fritz Lang, Le Mépris remains one of the defining films of European cinema.
For many collectors, this is the Bardot poster to own.
In my opinion, not only is it one of the most desirable French film posters ever produced, but quite simply one of the most beautiful movie posters of all time.
