When she went from hat model to cover model for Elle magazine, and from model to leading actress in films, her mother could never have imagined that Roger Vadim, her first husband, would make her the biggest sex symbol of 1956/1957 in "And God Created Woman". More than that, the world's greatest sex symbol.</p><div class="solar-embed-video mb-100-xs mb-150-lg embed-wrapper" data-v-232111b4=""><!----><div class="ZWlWrZbx"><div class="AOibiaBt"><div class="ag6rcCIJ"><picture><source srcset="https://img.youtube.com/vi_webp/Mdy70pZlZjc/sddefault.webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://img.youtube.com/vi/Mdy70pZlZjc/sddefault.jpg" type="image/jpeg"></source></source></picture><!----></div></div></div><!----><!----></div><p dir="ltr" class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">But Godard, who directed her in "Contempt" (1963), perhaps the actress's best film, was never naive, much less obvious. His clause to be fulfilled was to show her naked in the film. She resolved the issue with a scene in which she sunbathes on the terrace of the beautiful Villa Malaparte, on the Island of Capri, the most emblematic location of the film, shot in 1963.</p><p dir="ltr" class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">In the plot, she is Camille, this exuberant and sad woman, married to screenwriter Paul (Michel Piccoli), who is hired by American producer Jeremy Prokosch to rewrite an adaptation of Homer's "Odyssey" for Fritz Lang, who is directing it in Rome. The producer keeps making advances on Camille. Paul encourages his wife to get a ride with Jeremy, as if he were making his wife a trophy, a bargaining chip. Amidst the couple's tensions, when the three head to the Island of Capri, at the Vila location, the marriage, which was already not going well, falls apart once and for all. Camille proves, then, that she is not exactly a Penelope eternally waiting for her Ulysses.</p><!----><figure credit="Imagem: Reprodução" class="embed-wrapper solar-photo-content row-type embed embed-horizontal" data-v-15044903="" data-v-90ea4179="" data-v-232111b4=""><figure class="solar-responsive-image m-0 responsive-image pb-100" data-v-73d45db8="" data-v-15044903=""><picture class="photo-image" data-v-73d45db8=""><source srcset="https://conteudo.imguol.com.br/c/entretenimento/f5/2025/12/28/jeanluc-godard-dirige-brigitte-bardot-em-o-desprezo-1766954719663_v2_750x421.png.webp" media="(min-width: 1px)" type="image/webp" data-v-73d45db8=""><source srcset="https://conteudo.imguol.com.br/c/entretenimento/f5/2025/12/28/jeanluc-godard-dirige-brigitte-bardot-em-o-desprezo-1766954719663_v2_750x421.png" media="(min-width: 1px)" type="image/jpeg" data-v-73d45db8=""><img width="750" height="421" src="https://conteudo.imguol.com.br/c/entretenimento/f5/2025/12/28/jeanluc-godard-dirige-brigitte-bardot-em-o-desprezo-1766954719663_v2_750x421.png" alt="Jean-Luc Godard directs Brigitte Bardot in "The Contempt"" loading="eager" fetchpriority="low" decoding="auto" title="Jean-Luc Godard directs Brigitte Bardot in "The Contempt"" style="border-radius:var(--solar-border-radius-25);" data-v-73d45db8=""/></source></source></picture></figure><figcaption class="solar-caption regular-subtext" data-v-524617ed="" data-v-15044903=""> Jean-Luc Godard directs Brigitte Bardot in "Contempt" <span data-v-524617ed="">Image: Reproduction</span></figcaption></figure><!----><p dir="ltr" class="bullet" data-v-232111b4="">This metalanguage of cinema swallowing its own contradictions and playing with the rules it invented for women, like Bardot, makes "Contempt" a brilliant film (in addition to having so many other qualities) and does justice to an actress who suffered from Lolita Syndrome long before she understood what it was and knew how to choose whether she wanted it or not.</p><!----><!----></div>
