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.。畅销书《行为的驱使力》的作者玛格丽特·福特是位精神分析专家，为帮助她的病人比利，一个因赌博欠债、生命受到威胁的赌徒，她实地深入赌场了解赌徒的心理状况，并在那里认识了比利的债主迈克。油嘴滑舌的迈克满嘴甜言蜜语，极力拖玛格丽特下水。在迈克的诱引下，玛格丽特自身的一部分似乎复苏了，达到了某种“解放”。她参加了一个所谓的赌博骗局，试图从中渔利，但这个精心设计的骗局却出了漏子：玛格丽特不小心杀死了一个警察，这下玛格丽特可亏大了。后来，玛格丽特发现这一切原来都是一个大骗局，她被迈克坑了。为捞回亏掉的钱，玛格丽特也设了一个局，却被迈克识破，她不得不开枪将其打死。没有了债主的玛格丽特成了一个道地的赌徒，她用迈克教她的方法去获得自己想得到的东西。。
