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.。丽芙与玛蒂是一对性格迥异的15岁孪生姐妹。丽芙是一个散发着快乐和能量的好莱坞明星，最近刚刚拍摄完一部火热剧集；玛蒂全身充满了运动细胞，是学校的篮球活跃分子。玛蒂已经习惯了独自上学的日子，对于丽芙要回家的消息紧张不已。而丽芙热衷于谈论自己的璀璨星路，也因此与玛蒂摩擦出了火药味。与此同时，学校的篮球教练和心理医生——两姐妹的父母——一直试图让丽芙与玛蒂和平共处，给她们带来了不小的压力。而总希望借两姐妹来转移父母视线从而逃离管制的乔伊和帕克两两兄弟也共同演绎了一幕又一幕的爆笑喜剧。by:meijubar.net。
