Through letters, criticism, tributes, portraits, and working documents written between 1955 and the present day, the reader gains access to the mindset and creative process of filmmakers who have defended an exceptional space of freedom within the seventh art. Far from the reputation for being hermetic that they have been attributed, these writings reveal the clarity and coherence of their artistic project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book compiles an extensive selection of writings signed by Straub and Huillet, offering a panoramic view of their thought and trajectory. It includes everything from early texts from 1955 to more recent materials, covering various genres such as personal correspondence, film criticism, manifestos, obituaries, and work notes. Each piece contributes to debunking the undeserved reputation for difficulty that surrounds their cinematic work.
