T-WO-MEN
1972, 8 mm, color, 90 min.

Cast: Geeske Hof-Helmers, Dore 0

The film is divided into five parts differing in pictorial and musical structure. The plot, two women and their love for one another, is of secondary importance. An ingenious combination of stereoscopic images and montage of individual pictures make new qualities of perception accessible to the viewer. In the final part of the love scenes pictorial sequences and music build up to a delirious rhythm.

"Excellent" (Die Zeit, Filmtips, March 30 1973); elected best film of 1972 by the film-critics; "...a para-narrative masterpiece hitherto without equivalent..." (L’Art Vivant, Paris Oct. 1974).
