Sicilia! / Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie? (DVD, 1999 / 2001, Not Rated) Gianni Buscarino (Sicilia!), Sicilia! Straub-Huillet, Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie?, Pedro Costa documentary, film editing movie, European arthouse cinema

A double feature. Sicilia! is a stark, black-and-white film by Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub about a man returning to his native Sicily. Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie? is a documentary by Pedro Costa observing Huillet and Straub as they edit Sicilia!.

Review:
Both films are highly regarded in arthouse cinema circles. Sicilia! is praised for its rigorous, minimalist style. The documentary is valued for its rare, intimate look at the creative process of two of cinema's most uncompromising filmmakers.

This is for serious cinephiles, particularly those interested in avant-garde cinema, the art of film editing, and the work of Straub-Huillet and Pedro Costa. It's a film school masterclass on a single DVD.

The collectible value is extremely high for a specific audience. It combines a significant work by Straub-Huillet with a revealing documentary by another master, Pedro Costa. It's a crucial item for collections focused on European arthouse, slow cinema, and the filmmaking process.
