Number Two
It's my body, it's my kitchen, my kids. It's too much, and yet, it's not enough.
A formally experimental Godard essay that collapses the boundary between filmmaking process and domestic crisis, using split-screen video to interrogate marriage, labor, and the act of representation itself.
Jean-Luc Godard mixes video and film in his Grenoble studio, discussing how he secured funding for the film. The action unfolds on two monitors, as a young working-class couple lives in a claustrophobic, high-rise apartment complex and marital discord is set off by the wife’s infidelity.
