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 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. 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. * New, restored high-definition digital transfer * Archival television interviews: the first featuring actress Marina Vlady on the set of the film, the second with Jean-Luc 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

Wow, talk about Photoshop 110. That's one of the most tasteless cover I've seen from Criterion. Great job.
