What gives TWO of US its singular power is the hurtling urgency of the story-telling and the brilliance of the acting. Director Filippo Meneghetti, and his collaborators, hedge no bets, observe no constraints.
Through the use of symbolic peepholes, eavesdropping and dark rooms that provide cover for whispered assurances of devotion, TWO of US succeeds as a stealthy depiction of lesbian erotics, one that mirrors the inhibitions of a generation
