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.。在一个城市中，战争突然来了，大家都各处逃命，最后有一群人逃到了一条船上，船长要叫他们每人给多少金子才行，为了逃命大家都拿出了自己的钱，但在海上因太阳每大，大家没饭吃又没水喝，船长又敲炸他们，但后来还是没了水，有些人最后实在没办法了，就喝了海水，有位母亲还把自己的血给小孩喝，喝海水的人死了；再后来船被撞翻了，他们大部分人又被海水漂到了一个小岛上，但岛上没有吃的，又没有水，他们开始抓岛上一切可以吃的东西，有蛇，有晰蚁，蚂蚁，虫虫等都生吃，最后还是没办法，有个女的疯了，再后来有个小孩死了，其他人称他父亲不注意最后也把他吃了，有个人因没有水喝一点力气都没有了，另外两个人爬过去咬他的手挽喝他的血，电影结尾时好像就只有被吃那个小的父亲活了下来。
