Deux (Schroeter, 2002): ICA Cinema, 4.30pm

This is a 35mm presentation and part of the Werner Schroeter season at the ICA Cinema.

ICA introduction:
In Deux Isabelle Huppert plays a dual role of two young twins, Marie and Magdelana (their mother played by Bulle Ogier), to explore the complex and surreal resonances of the double, mirrored selves and memory, and the violences done to women by patriarchy and family. His second collaboration with the actress, Schroeter wrote the film for Huppert, who he described as his “alter ego” and claimed it contains elements of direct autobiographical interludes and dreams.

Deux is a very personal film about the tragedy of love.” — Elfi Mikesch

Here (and above) is the trailer.
