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.。宁静的山村进入雨季。村中的老伐木工人岸克彦为人古板，与儿子关系紧张。他在上工途中给东京来的新人导演田边幸一和副导演带路，由此被拉入一部丧尸电影的外景拍摄。在被迫充当临时演员后，克彦竟对电影产生了微妙的兴趣，他开始不请自来的帮助摄制组与村民沟通，开展工作，甚至忽略了本职与妻子的忌日。 突然闯入的摄制组扰乱了山村的平静和克彦的生活，也改变了导演幸一自身。幸一生性腼腆缺乏自信，在摄制组中毫无威信。偶然间他发现自己的丧尸剧本竟为克彦所欣赏，不禁大受鼓舞，两人在数次的泡澡时间里进行了奇妙的沟通。在克彦的帮助下，幸一慢慢树立了自信，电影拍摄也步入正轨。然而临关机前的一场瓢泼大雨再次令拍摄陷入危机，克彦的缺席也令幸一惶恐无措起来……。第二次世界大战初，三个英国军官在混战中逃出战俘营，预备穿过德军守卫区，进入瑞典后逃回国内。但是一路上危险重重，德军的严密防守使得三人寸步难行。天真的杰克•罗斯和诚恳的汤姆•威利斯最终没有得以逃脱，而尼克•马克格雷德跳上了开往伦敦的火车。临行前，杰克拜托他到了伦敦一定要找到自己的未婚妻丽兹，告诉她自己一定会想法逃回伦敦娶她为妻。作为第一个从战俘营中逃出来的军官，马克格雷德回到伦敦后被上层领导大大赞扬了一番。 上级批准马克格雷德加入了M19组织，并协助巴尼将军进行英国战俘的营救行动。回到英国的马克格雷德并没有忘记杰克被捕前的嘱托，凭借秘密组织的情报优势，他找到了在医院做护士的丽兹。但是从见到丽兹的第一面起，马克格雷德就爱上了这个长相甜美的女孩，并对她展开了热烈的追求。但是丽兹深爱着杰克，只要爱人一息尚存她都决定等下去。马克格雷德对杰克产生了从未有过的嫉妒...。
