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A市的某监狱里。当年的刑警队长、如今的囚犯巴图准备去见前来探望他的阿爸和养子哈日夫。激动的心情使他不能平静…… 一年前，巴图和战友朝鲁接受了侦破银行被骗280万元巨款的案件。不幸，朝鲁在办案时被歹徒杀害，巴图悲痛万分，暗下决心。一定要侦破此案，给朝鲁报仇。 “小世界”歌舞厅老板杨满仓是个凶狠残暴的人，他设计杀死了与他共同骗取银行巨款的同伙李晓东。当他得知巴图发现了蛛丝马迹后，便派手下的吴胖子给巴图设置障碍，使巴图因违纪而被调离专案组。 朝鲁的妻子肖洁到墓地看望去世的丈夫，不料，为保护巴图，被吴胖子开枪击中身亡。新仇旧恨彻底激怒了巴图，他开枪击碎了舞厅的玻璃和吊灯，欲为战友报仇。专案组的陈明带干警及时赶到，阻止了巴图的过激行为，巴图被免去刑警队长职务，停职反省。 杨满仓认为已无危险，便又想设计杀死他的姘妇美玲。美玲出国心切，急于得到护照，答应和杀手上...。朱仔是具天赋潜能的古物鉴证家，为人重情义，是热血爱国青年；九叔是古物发掘员，二人在哈尔滨发掘一件唐代国宝时，九叔曾舍命救回朱仔，因此朱仔称之为恩公。 若干年后，九叔巳在港居留并开设一间古董店，朱仔来港后寄居在九叔家中，邂逅了洋服店东主孙女乐而雅，乐是一间中资古董店的售货员，终日发着她的移民美梦。朱仔对乐甚有好感，可惜乐不为所动，其后乐之上司华，借词调派乐到美国分公司工作，实则将偷运古董之罪名架祸于乐身上……。
