A philistine in the art film business, Jeremy Prokosch is a producer unhappy with the work of his director. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang to direct an adaptation of "The Odyssey," but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings in a screenwriter to energize the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.

Okay, this was so lifeless and boring. Was this movie trying to be the representation of the insecure Europe? Felt like it.

A difficult film to both anaylse and rate. It is obviously inspirational to filmmakers as much of Goddard's work is, but it's also very meta, aloof and almost abstract at times. Some of the story is a film within a film within a film. So with that in mind, we are literally poking into Goddard's head to watch his own take on Greek Mythology / falling out of love / the struggles to keep art-forms relevant and the decline of culture. One segment is literally a 40 minute argument in an appartment, which was verging on repetitive and overlong. That said it's importance in cinema is clear.
