I believe that 2 or 3 things is most similar to the genre of independent film. It lacks many of the avant-garde quotients and has a budget that was far superior to other avant-garde films. This film was produced through a studio and used actors as opposed to real-life people. While it lacks real structure in the modern sense of the word, 2 or 3 things is far more narrative and strucutred than say Anticipation of the Night or Dog Star Man. Two or Three Things I Know About Her resembles a modern independent film moreso than a classic avant-garde film.
This film is an interesting look into not only the life of Juliette, but also into the structure of the city of Paris and the changes that the city is going through. Godard is trying to explain his 2 or 3 beliefs about Paris by contrasting the changes in the city to the daily life of a whore. He believes that the city is sacrificing morals in order to "survive" just as Juliette is prostituting herself in order to support her family. He is against the new construction, and thinks the high rises are a "dirty" stain on the beautiful history of the city of Paris.
