Brigitte Bardot and Jean-Luc Godard on the set of Contempt, 1963
“Success always deserves to be studied, because it does not come without a reason, and these reasons tell us about the soul of the era. She is a true queen. She can be forgotten, but it is impossible to deprive her of the throne. If you have seen her eyes in the film Contempt by Jean-Luc Godard, you will never forget Brigitte again.”
- Jean Cocteau on Brigitte Bardot
