Brigitte Bardot's tangled up hairstyle
Criterion Collection issued a version of Contempt (Le Mépris) with Brigitte Bardot on the cover, sporting a facial appearance that was either sulking or scowling, printed red upon red, or red upon pink.
Where did they find a frame from the movie to go with that? It doesn't look like a single frame in the whole movie has a picture of her sulking or scowling. Not once does she look up at us, or down on us, with her hair all mussed up. Was this picture shot of her just after she emerged from the waters where she took a dip in the sea? Is it near the scene where the sirens are tempting Ulysses? If that is the case, it was a still photo that somebody shot on the set for publicity purposes, and not an actual picture from the movie itself. Still, the photo was red on red, implying a significance more in line to American viewers than viewers in other places in Europe, as red is supposed to be a wrathful color (as opposed to a romantic or erotic color).
What Kind of a Crazy Car Crash was that?
How did the director get the car under the tractor trailer rig? Did they use some kind of compressor-operated jacks, or did they use a winch to lift one vehicle up on top of the other? (Yet Brigitte's hair was still something far from being mussed up.)
Start Justification
This was listed as unassessed because the b was not capitalized. I'm changing the rating to start because, while this article treats the plot and themes in great detail, criticism and production are entirely absent. --Supernumerary 05:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
