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.。故事发生在一个供游客玩闹的湖畔天堂——「小水獭家庭度假营」。在这里，大人们忙着喝酒聊天给自己减压，孩子们忙着调皮捣蛋大搞恶作剧，而青年们忙着恋爱、亲热与分手。 度假营的负责人Mack，表面上积极乐观，实际上心中痛苦不堪——她的丈夫抛弃她和一个年轻美貌的女人跑了，她的儿女们个个都不听话，度假营深陷财务危机随时可能倒闭。 夏天来了，又到了「小水獭家庭度假营」开始忙碌的时候。与往年不同，今年女老板兼业务负责人Mack将第一次独立运营度假营。Mack十分信任杂工Cole，但Cole对最近刚刚单身的女老板Mack产生了特殊兴趣……这种兴趣或许不仅仅是工作上的。 与此同时，营地管理员总监、首席活动策划师Robbie 最近刚刚以优异的成绩被斯坦福法学院录取，但他喜欢每年夏天来这个度假营干活——因为那意味着他可以和Sarah再续一年一度的「夏季爱情」。 本简介整理自...。A psychologist treats an 8 year old boy who witnessed his father's murder but the child blocks out details that could help the police.。
