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.。生日前夕,季南音惨遭虐杀分尸,死后灵魂归家,惊见母亲许静岚与养女夏吟相处融洽,自己竟被遗忘。城市惊现碎尸案,法医许静岚参与调查,所有证据指向季南音,可她仍只在意夏吟。当真相最终大白,许静岚的世界崩塌,等待她的,是残酷真相和难以挽回的遗憾 。。一所平凡的中学,1年B组即将迎来春假。不知天高地厚的学生们肆意吵闹,殊不知一场绵亘数月的风暴正向他们袭来。级任教师森口悠子(松隆子 饰)全然无视这片混乱,静静地向学生们做出最后的告白。这个单亲妈妈独自抚养着可爱的女儿(芦田爱菜 饰),然而女儿最终在游泳池中溺水身亡。警察 认定这是一起意外,森口则认定女儿死于班上两个学生之手。她不动声色地指责着犯人A和B,并宣布用自己的方式进行复仇。在此之后,森口辞去教师职务,1年B班的学生也心怀惴惴迎来了春假。新学期开始,残酷的风暴袭向了这群无知无畏的少男少女……
