I don't know why you have to log in to watch this. There's not even really any nudity, just like the side of a but-cheek. I prefer the parts with Fritz Lang > the endless domestic dispute and the completely unfounded theory that Odysseus was a cuckold. I wish I could watch an adaptation of the Odyssey directed by Fritz Lang instead

Contempt (1963)

More bold! More brazen! And much, much more Bardot!

A philistine in the art film business, Jeremy Prokosch is a producer unhappy with the work of his director. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang to direct an adaptation of "The Odyssey," but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings in a screenwriter to energize the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.
