Featuring: Marina Vlady
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.

Release Notes on Restoration

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her
2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. This new high-definition digital transfer was created on a 2K Spirit Datacine from the original 2-perforation Techniscope interpositive, struck from the original negative. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, warps, jitter, and flicker were removed using the MTI’s DRS and Pixel Farm’s PFCLean system, and Digital Vision’s DVNR system was used for small dirt, grain, and noise reduction.

Presented in its original monaural format, the soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from a 35mm optical soundtrack print. Clicks, thumps, hiss, and hum were manually removed using the Pro Tools HD system. Crackle was attenuated using AudioCube’s integrated audio workstation.
