Too Early, Too Late
Jean-Marie Straub and Daniéle Huillet
1981, 105 min., color. Ostensibly a documentary that depicts locations corresponding to texts read off-screen relating to revolutions in France (1789) and Egypt (1952), Too Early, Too Late transcends simple representation to touch on a mysterious sense of place, to resonate between materiality and an inner meaning of life.
