U.S., 2005
Directed by William Greaves

“TAKE 2½ returns to the scene of the original experiment, creates a new scenario built upon the events of the past, and sets about another aggressive peeling away of artifice and falsity, not just in the performances but in the filmmaking itself. The result is a uniquely exhilarating movie about moviemaking in which we are never quite certain whether we are situated behind the scenes or in front of them.” – Scott Foundas, LA Weekly
Reviews
"The sequel to Greaves' scandalously unappreciated SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM: TAKE ONE once again provokes us to ask questions about the deployment of power in the filmmaking process and its relationship to power and hierarchies in the world…admirable and haunting.”
– Amy Taubin, Film Comment
