The world of co-productions forms the setting for this story of the breakdown of a marriage. A producer (Jack Palance), a director (Fritz Lang) and a writer (Michel Piccoli) gather in Rome to
discuss a project to film the 'Odyssey'. Each talks a different language and the incomprehension on which the film is to be based says much about the cinema's distance trom any specific
audience. The writer's wife (Brigitte Bardot) despises her husband and finally has an affair with the producer. The film is remarkable for a 30-minute sequence with Piccoli and Bardot in their flat. (National Film Theatre)
