      <![CDATA[Jean-Luc Godard’s “Contempt/Le mepris” (1963)                                                                               is the first part of his religious trilogy, followed by “Hail, Mary” (1985) and “Woe Is Me” (1993). While “Contempt” examines the psychological mechanism of relations between humans and gods of pagan “design” – the human humans (the people with psychology of god-worshippers) and the human gods (people with psychology of unconscious identification with gods), “Hail, Mary” analyzes the psychological roots of the Christian cult of Saint Mary, and “Woe is Me” – the return of pagan gods into post-Christian modernity in a form of technological constructions, tools and toys dominating people’s life in Western democracies.<br>
In his analysis of religious psychology Godard separates people from religious (in a narrow sense) practices and metaphorizes these practices on personal and social relations between people in order to make their religious essence more articulate and vivid for the perception of the viewers.

      <![CDATA[What amazes me about this movie is how it has all the formal elements of a film noir (the villains, settings, sequences, sex, violence, and even Fritz Lang), but the content of a drama about relationships. Until I saw this movie years ago I didn't realize that you could take the formal elements of one genre and just insert the content from another genre.
