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.。本片讲述的是中国古代四大美女之一杨贵妃的秘密后宫史，杨贵妃得唐玄宗宠幸被封为贵妃，然而后宫之中贵妃众多，虽被封为贵妃却时常见不到皇上，因此也有心灵空虚的时候。为了打发时间，杨贵妃随后宫琴师学琴，琴师的才华深深的吸引着她，然而她努力的克制着自己。但因时常见不到皇上无法忍受心灵的空虚，在一次学艺之时，她终于控制不住自己和琴师……。
