Quei loro incontri

d. Jean-Marie Straub & Daniele Huillet
c. France / Italy
y. 2006

description:
"These Encounters of Theirs (AKA Quei loro incontri) marks French filmmaker Jean-Marie Straub's final cinematic collaboration with his wife, the late Daniele Huillet. The picture stages a series of five onscreen dialogues between Greek gods about mankind's relationship to the deities (and vice-versa), written by the Communist philosopher Cesare Pavese in "mock classical" language and recited on camera by such amateur Italian actors as Angela Nugara, Vittorio Vigneri, Grazia Orsi, Romano Guelfi, Angela Durantini and Enrico Achilli/ Straub and Huillet stage the dialogues in lush, rural, sunny outdoor environs. The characters include such mythical immortals as Iacchus, Metate and Gaia and such mortals as the poet Hesiod." (AMG)

Klassenverhaltnisse

d. Daniele Huillet & Jean-Marie Straub
c. West Germany
y. 1984

description:
"Financed in Germany and filmed in New York, Class Relations is adapted from Franz Kafka's unfinished novel Amerika. Christian Heinisch plays a bourgeois German forced to leave his homeland after a scandal. He accepts his uncle's invitation to move to America, where he takes a succession of "Joe Jobs." Heinisch tries, but he is unable to shake off his old-world customs. Worse, the class structure in Europe never prepared him to have to actually use his hands to make a living. Rather than tack on an ending of their own, writer/directors Daniel Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub conclude Class Relations in the same manner that Kafka left Amerika behind when he died--with the hero's ultimate fate still in limbo."
