SCREENING ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH.

Among Godard’s finest achievements, Two or Things Things… follows the daily life of Juliette Janson (Marina Vlady), a married housewife from the Paris suburbs who picks up clients for extra money. Yet this is but a template for Godard to spin off into provocative philosophical tangents and gorgeous images. The director narrates in a whispered voiceover, ruminating about money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. Two or Three Things I Know About Her is perhaps Godard’s most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen colour by Raoul Coutard.
