Music Video II & III is a DVD recorded by the French singer Mylène Farmer, containing all the singer's videoclips from 1992 to 2000. It was released in March 2001 in France.
The DVD contains all the videos from the studio albums Anamorphosée and Innamoramento and the live album Live à Bercy, as well as the video "Que mon cœur lâche". This DVD was more sold than the previous one, Music Videos I, made by Laurent Boutonnat, and remains one of the most best-selling musical DVD today in France.[2] The cover refers both to a scene from "XXL" and the cover of the CD maxi "L'Âme-stram-gram".
According to DVDfr.com, "a very good job was made on the cover and the booklet". Images are "impeccable" and the sound "is dynamic, full of feelings and basses".[3]
