Numero Deux is among the most visually compelling films Godard has ever made. He uses his video monitors to invent a dozen new ways of splitting the screen or layering the image. Compared to it, every other movie in town is just a cavity on the screen" (J. Hoberman, The Village Voice). With Alexandre Rignault and Rachel Stefanopoli. French with English subtitles.
