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.。东庄农业生产合作社副社长鲁淮生从县里开会回来后，向社员提出：挖通老龙沟，把洼地变稻田。社员都表示赞成，但保守怕事的社长章明楼认为冬季应抓副业。挖老龙沟一旦达不到预想的目的，即费钱又费力。章明楼的计划得到了上级区委方政委的支持，鲁淮生的计划却被压了下来。偶然一次，鲁淮生发现章明和会计福顺到邻村套买肥猪以非法获得的事，并将此事反映到了方政委那里，方政委认定鲁淮生是个人英雄主义作怪，反命令他停职反省。但淮生没有放弃自己的信念，经过多方努力，淮生开垦老龙沟的计划终于得到了县委书记王政委的支持。全体社员都兴高采烈火地参加了老龙沟的挖掘工作。。
