Biography

Jean-Marie Straub (8 January 1933 – 20 November 2022) and Danièle Huillet (1 May 1936 – 9 October 2006) were a duo of filmmakers who made two dozen films between 1963 and 2006. Their films are noted for their rigorous, intellectually stimulating style and radical, communist politics. Though both were French, they worked mostly in Germany and Italy. From the Clouds to the Resistance (1979) and Sicilia! (1999) are among the duo’s best regarded works.
