某年圣诞节期间，位于一个僻静舒适角落的格兰达尔森林旅馆正式开业。美丽的女店主阿哈娜（碧帕莎·芭素 Bipasha Basu 饰）为了这一天可谓煞费苦心，她以一己之力安排旅馆内的一切事务，与此同时第一批客人也接二连三入住。虽然状况不断，不过旅馆的开业仪式总算顺利进行了下来，而且她还因误会结识了拥有迷人气质的客人库纳尔·阿南德（Imran Abbas 饰）。然而在前一晚，给旅店送货的司机遭到不明生物的袭击，死状可怖。次日，一对新婚燕尔的夫妻也在丛林中遇袭。 恐怖的死亡气氛迅速蔓延，阿哈娜好不容易建立起来的梦想旅馆，面临怪物的无情毁灭……。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.。
