Format:VHS Tape
This is the first Godard film I have ever seen and the first time I saw it, it was quite a "nice shock" for me. I realised the film was extraordinary well done, although in a very original strange unfamiliar way. It reached my mind and my heart through the poetry in it, through the metaphores of the society we live in. The stirred coffee in the bar geniously watched from above is a sort of galaxy in which the world moves. I suggest that every single person on the earth should watch this fantastic soundtrackless film.

Godard at his polemical best
14 Aug 1999
Before declaring "End of Cinema" in "Weekend", Jean-Luc Godard made this utterly fascinating and engrossing meditation on the modern consumer lifestyle. "Her" is Juliette, a married housewife that turns to prostitution to bring in money so she can buy the newest dresses, and also the modernizing Paris of the 1960s. You won't find the postcard landscapes of the Eiffel Tower or the Champs-Elysee in Godard's political and philosophical tract that takes issue with the suburbanizing of Paris with huge apartment buildings, perfectly captured by Raoul Coutard's always stunning cinematography. Also in the film: attacks on the US in Vietnam (Juliette's son's dream) and relations between men and women, and an exploration of alienation and the struggle for meaning in the (then) changing world of 1966. This might sound boring--me, I eat it up. As previously mentioned, this is one of Godard's last films before temporarily abandoning classical filmmaking, and his frustration with the confinements of cinematic form result in pushing the boundaries of narrative film. There's very little story, but the movie is filled with thoughts and meanings, and is one of the most personal films made by a director.

A Transcendent film, truly a work of genius.
16 Aug 1999
This is simply one of the finest films I have ever seen. Godard does things in ways that no one else can. It blends sociopolitical commentary with pure experimentation and existential realism. Visually specatacular and completely engaging while abstract and mysterious. A perfect film.

a housewife moonlights as a prostitute
19 Sep 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This review is for the Criteiron Collection DVD edition of the film
2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, released in France as "2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle" is a film about a married woman with two children who starts working as a prostitute to make extra money. The film was inspired by a letter to the editor of a French newspaper.
It was directed by Jean-luc Godard and one of three films he produced in the year of its release.
The film includes some great scenes of the business district of Paris and the cinematography is excellent.
The supplements are quite good also.
There is a TV special featuring actress, Marina Vlady, on the set of the film and another of director Jean-luc Godard discussing the ethics of prostution with some other people. There is also a video essay about the film, a new interview with theater director, Antoine Bourseiller, who is a former friend of Godard, a theatrical trailer, and audio commentary by Australian film scholar, Adrian Martin.
The liner notes also include the letter to the editor which inspired the film.
