The "her" of the title refers to two objects:
the capital city Paris and Juliette, a
woman who resides in one of Paris's drab, ugly suburbs.
Using a fragmented narrative style
that mirrors Juliette's clipped, confused existence, Godard
looks at a day in the life of Juliette and the cast of
Parisian women that revolves around her. Godard himself provides a whispered,
but very trenchant, narration throughout the film, which
further implicates the modern world for moving too quickly and
soullessly, condemning the escalating violence in Vietnam, the
growing infatuation with television, and the world animalistic dependence on sex and sexuality.
