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.。影片讲述了4名知识青年的人生经历。民族音乐专家纪光明受邀回到爱恨20多年的县城，在收集花灯资料过程中巧遇知青时代的恋人徐静茹的女儿——王明静，由此引出20年前上山下乡的回忆……。知青宋大江返城后，因生活窘迫和婚姻失败的打击，拼命地追求金钱。在经历了复杂的情感纠葛后，与女知青陈悦清结成伴侣，收养了一个弃婴，组成了一个“知青家庭”。夫妻俩忽视了对儿子乔生的教育,外婆的溺爱使乔生渐渐堕落。宋大江为了挽救儿子，隐瞒所有人实施了“假破产”计划，并以无颜面对破产为由，远走他乡。陈悦清卖掉了仅存的婚戒和儿子摆大饼摊维持生计。家庭环境的彻底改变使乔生猛然醒悟。在经历了种种挫折之后，他的人生轨迹终于转变了。在深圳创业的宋大江，成了著名企业家。正当一家人将要团聚之时，农村姑娘朱小芳却出现了，她来寻找已丢失了二十多年的儿子，还口口声声说：弃婴乔生就是她和宋大江的亲生儿子。一段尘封多年的知青往事被揭开，横亘在宋大江心中的情结也终于解开，知青岁月中凝结的深情重又在这个知青家庭中升腾，升华。。
