You know how nouns have a specific gender in French? Well, I was thinking about the ambiguous title of Godard's film. Perhaps we are mistaking the "her" or "elle" in the title for Juliette Jeanson. Perhaps it is simpler than that. Perhaps he is actually referring to the city of Paris itself. Eh, I suppose that's not where the importance lies anyway.
I really enjoyed this one. It was thought provoking, and probed into many ideas that have been plaguing my mind recently. It was obviously the most accessible of the films we've seen thus far, which is probably one of the biggest signs that this wasn't truly an avant-garde film, but more of a film from a school of thought resultant from avant-garde influences. One of my favorite parts was whenever people would turn their heads and divulge to the audience random details about themselves or their lives. This technique really brought the characters to life, and reminded me of one of my favorite films, Amelie.
