Peter Nestler, who is very familiar with and befriended to the author/filmmaker couple Danièle Huillet (passed away in 2006) and Jean-Marie Straub, gives an introduction to the last work they wrote and directed together, "Quei loro Incontri". In Defence of Time he puts the film by Straub/Huillet into an artistic and biografical context, including the literal work of Cesare Pavese. The conversations with the filmmakers are complemented by photographs and extracts– among them an earlier Pavese adaptation by Straub/Huillet, "Dalla Nube alle Resistenza".
