Set around the extraordinary Villa Malaparte on Capri; the film tells the tragic romance between Paul (Michel Piccoli) and his wife, Camille (Brigitte Bardot). Paul is enlisted the task of re-writing a film script.
Whilst he becomes engrossed in writing, he appears oblivious to the film producer’s interest in his irresistibly beautiful wife, Camille. In turn, we witness the hurtful unfolding of Paul & Camille’s marriage.
The restoration also features the original and unforgettable soundtrack, Theme of Camille, by multi award-winning composer, Georges Delerue.
