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.。"赫拉的女祭司阿尔克墨涅惹恼了天神宙斯，宙斯化身为她的丈夫安菲特律翁，使她怀有了身孕。先知预言阿尔克墨涅将生下双胞胎儿子，其中一个是宙斯的儿子，那正是赫拉克勒斯。赫拉克勒斯长大成人后，并未显现出过人之处，常常受到王子们的嘲笑。在马人喀戎的教导和潜心苦炼后，终于显出天生神力和勇猛的一面，杀死了双头蛇许德拉后，他成为了底比斯人景仰的英雄，然而潜藏在他身边的危机却步步紧逼，让他无路可退。 赫拉克勒斯中了墨伽拉和阿尔克墨涅的计，失手杀死了自己的三个儿子。为了寻找救赎，他听从德尔菲神谕的指引，为欧律斯透斯和墨伽拉完成六件差事。凭借过人的勇气和力量，历尽艰险与困境，赫拉克勒斯一次又一次完成了任务，赢得了民心，成了百姓心中的大英雄。。
