synopsis

While veteran filmmaker Fritz Lang is shooting a film of The Odyssey at Cinecittà, his American producer Prokosch hires screenwriter Paul Javal to rewrite the script. At the same time, he does not hesitate to make advances toward Camille, Paul’s beautiful wife…

« Une histoire d’un malentendu entre un homme et une femme, un film simple sur des choses compliquées, davantage une réflexion qu’un document. » (Jean-Luc Godard)
