Contempt
Overview
Contempt is a brilliant and unsettling work by one of the revolutionary masters of modern European literature.

Contempt (which was to inspire Jean-Luc Godard's no-less-celebrated film) is an unflinching examination of desperation and self-deception in the emotional vacuum of modern consumer society.
