Le Mepris : Did Camille really loved Paul?

Last Wednesday we discussed about the French New Wave and we watched the film Le Mepris also known as Contempt. Sir left us the question before we ended our class.


"Did Camille really loved Paul?"
At the first part of the movie, she made me believed that she really loved Paul. She's asking him, if he loved everything about her and Paul said yes and he said that everything about her is beautiful. But when Paul tried to kiss her, she said no. (But that time, I thought she was just being a woman who was pa-hard to get)

And then, when Camille met the producer and Paul said that he'll just ride a taxi and she should go with the producer in the car. The scene when she saw the car and touched it, I think it was the time when maybe she thought that his husband can't really provide her things like that.



The next scene in the house of the producer, was really strange for me. She was wandering around the mansion and she saw her husband. I felt that something happened between the producer and Camille and then she became distant to Paul. She did not want to talk to her husband and she just went to sit in a chair alone and read some books about Romans gods.

Through the whole movie, Camille will just feel that she did not love Paul anymore and all of a sudden she will fell that he love Paul again. So for me, Camille did not really loved Paul because if she love/d Paul, she would be content to what Paul can bring to the table. Paul sacrificed to write a movie that he did not like so he can afford a more comfortable place for them to leave but Camille did not appreciate what he did.


For me, there is really no basis of your love to a person because you cannot explain love. So if Camille changed her mine just because she saw the money or power that the producer has, she did not really loved Paul even for once.

Here's the trailer of the Le Mepris
