2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER (1967)

 


Directed by: Jean-Luc Godard Written by Jean-Luc Godard & Catherine Vimenet  Cinematography: Raoul Coutard Editor: Francoise Collin & Chantal Delattre 


Cast: Marina Vlady, Anne Duperey, Roger Montsorat, Raoul levy, Jean Narboni 

In this film, 'Her' refers to both Paris, the character of Juliette Janson, and the actress playing her, Marina Vlady. The film is a kind of dramatized documentary, illustrating and exaggerating the emotionless lives of characters in the new Paris of the 60s, where commercialism mocks families getting by on small incomes, where prostitution is a moneyspinning option, and where people are coldly resigned and immune to the human nightmares of Vietnam, and impending Atomic war.
