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.。11岁的查拉自小与其吸毒的母亲相依为命。他以训练战犬为生。这种谋生手段使得他变得很暴戾。这点在他的校园生活中便有所体现。卡米拉是他很敬畏，很爱慕的6年级的老师。有一天，这位老师病了，以致于几个月都不能来学校上课。而新来老师不能理解查拉的行为，并送他去了劳教所。等卡米拉老师回来后，她极力反对新老师和同学们的这种做法。于是，卡米拉和查拉的感情开始持续升温，但这段日益亲密的关系却为他们对他们留在学校产生了威胁……。
