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.。从小天赋异禀的川剧武生王大器，立志要大展雄图。岂料自己却患上了登台恐惧症，非但没能成为大武生，反倒是面临被川剧院裁撤的危机。正当他无用武之地时，一次不经意的见义勇为为他打开了新大门。他一身炉火纯青的变脸武艺以及变幻莫测的表演装束，像极了夜色中的神秘侠客。于是夜晚的城市成为了王大器新的舞台，他潜伏于茫茫人海将一身武艺用于见义勇为从此走上了行侠仗义的英雄之路。。
