Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In Two or Three Things I Know About Her (Duex ou Trois 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 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Godard at his polemical best, August 14, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Transcendent film, truly a work of genius., August 16, 1999
By A Customer
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars a housewife moonlights as a prostitute, September 19, 2009

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.
