Dites-moi quelque chose(2010)

Dites-moi quelque chose is a documentary following Jean-Marie Straub in 2007 and 2008, after the death of his longtime collaborator Danièle Huillet. Filmmaker Philippe Lafosse captures Straub's public appearances and conversations, recording a cinema master's reflections on craft, fidelity, and resistance to cultural compromise. The film explores Straub's uncompromising vision through his own words—meditations on filmmaking, political commitment, and the absence left by Huillet's passing. Rather than biographical gossip, Dites-moi quelque chose presents Straub as a figure of artistic integrity, engaging with an international community of devoted followers. Whether you're familiar with Straub-Huillet's challenging, formally rigorous cinema or discovering their legacy for the first time, this portrait offers insight into a filmmaker's later years and the enduring power of principled artistic practice.
