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.
