The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。上班族樋口麻衣一直为了与刚开始交往的男友山下亮介不能敞开心扉交流而烦恼，而这时她因遭遇了意外事故脸上受了伤，开始就感到对人生的绝望。事故发生时一直暗恋她的矢野卓也帮助了他，并关心她的康复，麻衣觉得卓也是因为同情自己，无法接受他的感情。麻衣的同事亚纪和妹妹葵帮她想出了与卓也互相剖白心迹的小计划。。对于泰德（杰夫·布里吉斯 Jeff Bridges 饰）和玛丽恩（金·贝辛格 Kim Basinger 饰）来说，生活是残酷的，两个儿子的死亡让他们再也无法回到正常的生活轨道上去，而对小女儿罗丝（艾丽·范宁 Elle Fanning 饰）的爱又令他们无法果断的分道扬镳，在漫长的岁月中，泰德和玛丽恩都保持这一种尴尬又奇怪的关系——貌合神离，名存实亡。 艾迪（乔恩·福斯特 Jon Foster 饰）的出现打破了泰德和玛丽恩一家人多年来苦心维持的古怪的平衡，艾迪是泰德的助手，他的存在是泰德为了能够顺利离婚而处心积虑设下的一个局。不出泰德所料，艾迪和玛丽恩之间的关系越界了，但事情的发展却并没有如泰德所愿，他陷入了新的困境之中。。
