2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

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, 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 it's 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. 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.
