Fired with conviction, Straub-Huillet produced an inimitable body of films, retaining a single-minded faith in their art, writes critic Nick Pinkerton Paris, 1954. Jean-Marie Straub, an intimate of many critics and future New Wave directors, met Danièle Huillet, an aspiring ethnographic filmmaker, and a lifelong partnership began. The films that they made together (until Huillet’s death in 2006) collectively form a celebration and interrogation of Europe’s cultural and political heritage, linking classical and radical traditions. Almost every one of their films would build from direct quotations of an original text, making them adapters by trade – and, paradoxically, among the most original filmmakers of the latter half of the 20th century. Obsessive perfectionists, they created and reworked their austere visual approach and declamatory performance style, exploring the text and the distinctive cadence of their (often non-professional) performers, recorded live. The result is a rigorous, disciplined cinema, defined by a simple beauty and fierce political passion.

JEAN-MARIE WANT MORE? IN CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP WITH Part of a complete retrospective (Mar – Jun 2019) of Straub-Huillet, including many restorations, organised by Goethe-Institut with BELVA Film, ICA, Italian Cultural Institute, Institut Français, Birkbeck, University of London, King’s College London, and German Screen Studies Network goethe.de/uk DANIÈLE See p26 for our European Connections season

As the debate continues on Britain’s relationship with Europe, we look back at the great European classics on British TV and how our TV represents Europe today, writes season programmer Marcus Prince From the 1950s to the 1990s, British TV, and in particular the BBC, acted as a window to European culture by producing not only great classic adaptations of the European novel, but also single TV plays by major authors such as Sartre, Pirandello, Lorca and Schnitzler. Acutely aware of the Reithian principle to educate as well as entertain, these plays – viewed by millions – were often people’s first introduction to the works of important European writers. Happily for us, they attracted the celebrated stars of the day: Paul Scofield, Dame Edith Evans and Jeanne Moreau, to name a few. Here, we present a selection of the finest of these European plays, as well as a panel discussion that delves into what our representation of Europe on British TV looks like now.
