In 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER 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. 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.
"The photography is beautiful, clear comic-book precise; and the locations are informed by Godard's signature." -- Renata Adler, THE NEW YORK TIMES
