Synopsis
Ronnie Scheib wrote on www.variety.com
"Two in One," is a two-part meditation on theater displaying a … blend of exquisite imagery and gratuitous cruelty in stunningly abstract form. First section, "Stagehands," takes place backstage where an inconvenient corpse is found hanging. The second part, "Woman of a Lifetime," evolves into a grotesque bedroom farce that takes place inside an opulent manor. Vintage Muratova, this arcane pic should garner critical kudos at fests, while the director herself will likely remain an acquired taste.
