Two or Three Things I Know About Her


Two or Three Things I Know About Her Frenchouchoses que je sais delle is a 1967 French film directed by JeanLuc Godard, one of three features he completed that year. Like the other two Week End and La Chinoise, it is considered both socially and stylistically radical. Village Voice critic Amy Taubin considers it one of the greatest achievements in filmmaking.

Like many of the directors works, the film does not follow the narrative arc of conventional cinema, with an introduction, conflict and resolution. Instead, it presentshours in the sophisticated but empty life of Juliette Jeanson Marina Vlady, a seeminglybourgeois married mother, part of whose life involves prostitution. Juliette begins her day dropping off her screaming child to a man who has a flourishing business doing childcare for call girls. Her generally uneventful daily routine of shopping, housework and childrearing is interspersed with assignations with clients. All of the films sexual interplay is banal instead of erotic, and one client, an American wearing a shirt with his countrys flag, demands the women he has hired wear airline shopping bags over their heads.Though there was a script, there are many moments in which the cast breaks the fourth wall, looking into the camera and giving seemingly random monologues about what they think about life and themselves. Vlady and other actors wore earpieces through which the director would ask surprise questions, often catching Vlady offguard because she was required to give spontaneous answers that were appropriate to her character. ........
