- Two or Three Things I Know About Her
In Two or Three Things I Know About Her, Jean-Luc Godard curbs his usual bravado to muse on the title's double entendre — Her refers to both the beloved (but rapidly changing) Paris and housewife/prostitute Juliette Janson (Marina Vlady). A free-associative approach gives the intellectually omnivorous director a chance to weigh in on politics, consumerism, Roland Barthes, and that New Wave fixation: cinema and the liberated woman. Yet the film is remarkable not for its au courant cynicism, but its Pop-art aesthetic. Raoul Coutard's CinemaScope camera accentuates Lichtenstein-like colors, and gracefully captures a city — and a woman — adjusting to the modern age.
