Viewing: Straub-Huillet's Europa 2005–27 Octobre
The final film by the difficult-to-see Straub-Huillet, an unsigned 12-minute short by Jean-Marie Straub and the late Danielle Huillet. In Cinema Scope 29, publisher-editor Mark Peranson noted Huillet's passing: "As the year ends, we are already seeing an increase in the number of cinema “celebrity” deaths, by dint of the fact that as the 20th century progressed, the number of celebrities increased exponentially. Danièle Huillet stands above them all. Her death must be considered the most significant film event of 2006. And I say this having only seen four of Huillet and Straub’s films—the latest, on a German-subtitled print with which I had to follow along using an English dialogue list." [More at that link.]
