Pratt Film Society screening: TWO OR THREE THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER
Posted on Mar 23 2010
TWO OR THREE THINGS
I KNOW ABOUT HER
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard
(1967, France, 87 mins.)
In Two or Three Things I Know About Her (DEUX OU TROIS CHOSES QUE JE SAIS D'ELLE) Jean-Luc Godard beckons us ever closer, literally whispering in our ears as narrator. About what? Money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. Considered by many to be among the legendary French filmmaker's finest achievements, the film takes as its ostensible subject the daily life of Juliette Janson (Marina Vlady), a housewife from the Paris suburbs who prostitutes herself for extra money. Yet this is only a template for Godard to spin off into provocative philosophical tangents and gorgeous images. Two or Three Things I Know About Her is perhaps Godard's most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen color by Raoul Coutard.
The Pratt Film Society seeks to enrich the community by exploring various aspects of film and filmmaking while promoting interdisciplinary dialogue at Pratt through the art of film. The Pratt Film Society hosts free, weekly screenings, which include documentaries, fiction features, historical and contemporary releases, films by and about artists, and a forum for discussing all things film-related. To encourage an exchange of ideas there are program notes on hand at each screening and we invite noteworthy filmmakers to campus for question and answer. The Society also promotes local talent by screening works by students, staff and faculty, and alumni.
Co-Directors: Deborah Meehan & Ethan Spigland
