WHERE DOES YOUR HIDDEN SMILE LIE? (ONDE JAZ O TEU SORRISO?), 2001

Portugal, France | DCP, Black-White & Color, 104’ | Italian, French
Director: Pedro Costa

Costa captures Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet as they re-edit their film Sicilia!, observing their discussions and creative process. The film reveals not only their intense and illuminating conversations about the art of cinema but also the tender and humorous moments of their shared daily life. Costa traces the mastery and partnership of this duo, often described as “the last great directors of modern cinema.” The result is both one of the most important films ever made about filmmaking itself and a delicate portrait of a marriage.
