"Two Or Three Things I Know About Her"
1966
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

Shot simultaneously with Made in U.S.A. (one was filmed mornings, the other in the evenings), this drama focuses on modern life in Paris. Vlady stars as a Parisian housewife who lives in a large housing estate and supplements her husband's income by working as a part-time prostitute. Against an aural backdrop of Beethoven, her life over a 24-hour period is detailed as it speaks about the sale of oneself in the pursuit of happiness. A barrage of words, images and philosophising, with whispering and narration by Godard, this highly inventive and energetic, early "mockumentary" set the standard for such works. French with English subtitles. 95 minutes.
