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.。不知为何，在冯德伦身上接二连三发生了许多倒霉事：因坏了的手提电话而激怒了好友陈子聪的太太何超仪；母亲百般要求他帮自己的朋友买演唱会门票，对方却拒绝付款；父亲得罪了快餐厅的伙计，遭到报复的却是冯德伦自己；朋友李灿森要求他帮忙照顾爱犬，狗却无故丢失了；拿着已过限期的单据到百货公司取货；被李笼怡误会他是偷窥狂；与Liza.s拍广告，想取回已被拍卖的厚底鞋却遭到蛮缠妇人刁难；按摩时被按摩师占便宜；为了追讨酬劳，却因此失去了拍广告的机会；到酒店时误闯了梁咏琪的房间，只因被酒店职员捉弄…… 一系列发生在冯德伦与好友身上的倒霉事陆续发生。。
