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.。爷爷去世了，奶奶独居在家。屋子里充满了奶奶关于过去的记忆，这些记忆甚至固化成了物品、动物和人，有了自己的生命，而奶奶，则像是失忆了，在失忆的人面前，时间彻底失效。 叶子毕业回到家，过最后一个暑假，不断被家中神出鬼没的记忆骚扰。这些记忆有些像是爷爷、有些像是小时候的自己、有些谁也不是，是陌生人、一只猫或是一丛草。关于过去的记忆在万物之间流转，叶子从害怕到慢慢接受到爱，是接受伤心的童年、是爱爷爷到爱一切，用这样的方式和世界在一起，重新认识和爱这个世界。 家中的奶奶也得以和记忆中的故人们重逢，终于，在一个晚上，所有人一起迎来了一场盛大的告别。 可能并不是告别，这是奶奶的一场梦，在梦里，大家永远在一起了。。
