The her in this individualistic film refers to Paris, the Paris that perhaps only Godard could visualise in such a stark style. Inspired by an article on housewife prostitution, the film examines his theory that to live in Paris one had to prostitute oneself in order to survive. This sociological fable is shot through the eyes of a housewife, Juliette who spends one day a week in central Paris selling her body on the street in the hope that she will be able to buy happiness and escape the high rise architecture of the suburb in which she lives with her family. A leading force of the French New Wave, Godard created a masterpiece which comes across radical and modernist over thirty years after its conception. Seen at the time as personifying the changing moods of womankind itself, Marina Vlady delivers perhaps her defining performance as the sad heroine at the heart of a menage-a-trois which has been emulated but never repeated. The Nouvelle Vague in all its youthful joie-de-vivre. < less
