    neither cinema nor theater, only the words... beautiful
    There is irony in Huillet and Straub.

    They start from a title encompassing sophocle, Holderlin and Brecht, and then process to strip down all the over the top greek tragedy genre, the flamboyant romanticism or the ideology burdened staging by Brecht, and focus on the utter beauty of the storytelling.

    This is why this couple is so important to the language of movies..
