"6 Bagatelas is a short feature made up of six short scenes excised from Costa’s documentary on Straub/Hulliet editing Sicilia!, called Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie?. They are mostly further, shorter examples of the many pleasures of that film: hearing Straub’s hyper-intelligent and partially exasperated rambles, seeing the humorous interplay between Huillet and Straub, and later even going outside, a singular moment in the project, to see Straub kick up his feet as he and Huillet wait for laundry to dry. There is significantly less time spent on actually seeing their editing process, although one of the short scenes is made up “merely” of the couple playing the credits with its music on the Moviola, Straub leaning over to say something (as always) and Huillet having to keep stopping the music with a screech to hear what he is uttering." - Daniel Kasman, d+kaz
