Description
"Women's cinema makes us rediscover what the imperialism of the eye had repressed: other modes of editing impulses where what is seen and heard changes the perspective."
— Serge Daney, Les Cahiers du cinéma
"This film is a deliberately elementary meditation on certain primary functions of film that can be said to underlie editing as such—anticipation, exploration of the image, perceptual memory, relationships between off-screen and on-screen space, all explored in a series of autonomous sequence shots of exemplary simplicity."
— Noël Burch
"Some thirty shots, a few words. But all this would not be worth recounting if Deux Fois were not the film that it is: one of the works—and I weigh my words in these times of verbal inflation—the most powerful and, at the same time, the most enigmatic that one can see. It took me three screenings—spread over several years—to accept that I understood nothing about Deux Fois."
— Louis Skorecki, Semaine des Cahiers
