Two or Three Things I Know About Her (1967) -- J.-L. Godard
Is there no one today
doing anything as radical as what Jean-Luc Godard did in the Sixties who is
still attracting the critical (and popular?) attention that he did? Two or Three Things is a transitional film
for JLG, moving him from his more narrative features to the pure dialectical
essay film. This halfway point may
represent his most intellectually stimulating period, merging beauty and design
and a partial narrative (a wife engages in prostitution to supplement the
family budget) with a fervor for critical sociological theories about language,
meaning, ways of seeing and thinking. And of course, class, consumerism,
Vietnam, and French politics. Fascinating, but I need the annotated version.
