THIS SEPTEMBER … You know that we are living in a material world, so let’s take a tour with the target demographic! The Paradise Presents: MATERIAL GIRLS- a cinematic exploration of consumerism through a feminine lens. Join us for nine glossy pictures, with distinctive forms of pop sensibilities, that satirize and comment on the world in which we live.
We are taking a foray into the world of the French New Wave with a socially and stylistically radical work from Jean-Luc Godard. Godard narrates this cutting satire of consumerist culture, weaving in commentary on the Vietnam War and neo-capitalism. The Paradise Presents 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER.
In 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (2 ou 3 choses que je sais d’elle), Jean-Luc Godard beckons us ever closer, whispering in our ears as narrator. About what? Money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. 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. 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is perhaps Godard’s most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen color by Raoul Coutard.
