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.。沙奇是风度翩翩的绅士，暗中从事走私贩毒及军火买卖之不法勾当，在一次黑吃黑的拼杀后，沙奇与杜老板势不两立。夜总会艳星罗娜遇旧识男友李浩，旧情复炽，但罗娜似有隐忧，因被沙奇控制成为犯罪工具，李浩欲带罗娜远走高飞，遭沙奇手下抓回。李浩痛不欲生。其后李浩喝酒消愁认识美琳，美琳深富正义感，且对李浩一见钟情，答应相助。美琳在夜总会跳艳舞，欲搜查证物，不料被识破，李浩遭毒打，而美琳遭沙奇强暴。事后，沙奇欲杀二人灭口，此时杜老板正好前来寻仇，火拼中，李浩与美琳趁机逃脱。杜老板被歼杀，李浩与美琳深入虎穴欲救出罗娜，千钧一发之际，警方飞驰而至，将沙奇这帮罪犯一网打尽。。
