In 1963, Jean-Louis Swiners, photographer-reporter for the monthly periodical “Réalités”, was sent by his editor to Rome for the shooting of the film “Le Mépris”, which was to become a cult movie by Jean-Luc Godard. Forgotten in the archives for over 50 years, photos not used by the magazine are now unveiled by the Galerie de l’Instant. Visitors discover intimate moments and backstage shots taken during the filming of this classic of the Seventh Art, a masterpiece admired by the greatest movie-makers and studied in film schools all over the world. Until September 12th. Galerie de l’Instant. 46 rue de Poitou, Paris 3 (01 44 54 94 09).
