The absurd journey of an actress who in the twilight of her career will reinvent herself through a past that has already passed.。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.。半个世纪前，德教授率领考古队在埃及帝王谷发现了一个罕有的金字塔"太洛斯"。更碰上一股邪恶的恐怖力量，为了令邪灵不致为祸人间，德教授不惜引爆搜索现埸，与邪灵同埋于沙漠深处。 德教授的孙女珊美其后自组搜索队，决定重新征服"太洛斯”，但同样遇上邪恶力量，各队员更是死的死，疯的疯。从此，“太洛斯”的阴影一直潜伏在她的心中。岂料一天，珊美收到英国国家博物馆的宣传品，即将举行的展览竟是“太洛斯”！经历了几千年的沉睡，终于重现人间。。
