Two or Three Things

Two or Three Things I Know About Her was a really interesting insight into Paris in that time period as well as the prostitution trade. It was very definitely not avant-garde, but as a member of the new-wave, it was still something new. With the characters speaking directly to the camera in the midst of an activity, it offered an insight into everyone's thoughts that you wouldn't get if you simply watched them go about their business. Juliette is a prostitute, and you would just label her as a prostitute and delve no further into her personality (though there really wasn't much personality in her). When she speaks, you fall into a trance, as she seems to know exactly what she's talking about, and it's all so deep sounding! You figure she knows where it's at. My favorite part of the movie is when Juliette's son comes in to talk about his dream. He seems so young, yet he sounds so smart and when he describes his dream it seems like it could really happen, coming from such an innocent little child.
