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.。一个古板的老太太把一生的积蓄-—一百万欧元都藏到了她的旧床垫下面，可是这个床垫却被不知情的子女们嫌太老旧，扔了。当子女们得知真相后，一石激起千层浪浪，全家开始了轰轰烈烈的找床垫行动。就在这时，子女中经常被哥哥姐姐们称为傻子的小儿子，给电台打了电话，用5万欧元悬赏里面藏有百万欧元的床垫，此时全国的人们都开始疯狂的找这张藏有百万欧元的床垫，古板的老太太也因此受邀参加电视台节目讲述床垫金额的由来。最终，在全国人都积极参与的情况下，老太太一家是否能如愿的寻回床垫呢？。
