Two or Three Things I Know About Her

Jean-Luc Godard · 1967

Jean-Luc Godard’s 1967 essay-film follows a Parisian housewife who prostitutes herself by day, using her routine as a lens to examine consumerism, advertising, the Vietnam War, and the banlieue as ideological infrastructure. Built from fragmented scenes, whispered narration, and deliberate interruptions, it rejects narrative for inquiry — asking not what happens next, but how meaning is produced, circulated, and dissolved in modern life.

A Married Woman

Jean-Luc Godard · 1964

Jean-Luc Godard’s 1964 film follows Charlotte, a married woman navigating infidelity, pregnancy, and consumer culture in early-1960s Paris. Shot by Raoul Coutard in stark black-and-white, it uses fragmentation, repetition, and deliberate juxtaposition — of Holocaust testimony and fashion ads, Beethoven and pop songs — to examine how identity is shaped by advertising, memory, and political history. Censored on release for its title and sexual content, it remains a rigorous, unsentimental inquiry into the infrastructure of everyday life.
