Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie? Preceded by 6 Bagatelas

Hailed by many as the best film about filmmaking ever made, Hidden Smile is Costa’s portrait of the filmmaking team of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet—perhaps the most profound influence on Costa’s own work. It shows the pair contemplating and battling over every cut as they reedit their film Sicilia! (1999).

6 Bagatelas offers a collection of unused scenes from Hidden Smile. (18 mins, video)

Thanks to Ricardo Matos Cabo for organizing this retrospective.
