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.。中国功夫博大精深，在这部电影之前，大极拳未曾被搬上银幕。编剧倪匡一反常人以为太极拳只是强身健体的拳法，正式将它的攻击威力展现出来。年青工人顾定，是太极高手，被恶霸金大盛所欺，一直默默忍受，金又夺去他的爱人阿宝一命，他也忍辱负重，最后，师父和好友胡炳连都惨死他的利刃下，他忍无可忍，被逼出手。电影上映时，惹来一阵哄动，因男主角陈沃夫是太极高手，完成此片后，突然暴毙，太极拳成为他的最后遗作，令人惋惜。。
