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. Two or Three Things I Know About Her is perhaps Godard’s most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen color by Raoul Coutard. SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES: • New, restored high-definition digital transfer • Archival television interviews: the first featuring Vlady on the set of the film, the second with Godard engaged in debate with a government official on the subject of prostitution • New video interview with Godard friend Antoine Bourseiller • A visual essay cataloguing the multiple references in the film • New and improved English subtitle translation • PLUS: A new essay by Sasha Frere-Jones Stills from 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (Click for larger image)Starring Marina Vlady, Anny Duperey, Christophe Bourseiller, Juliet Berto, Yves Beneyton.
