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.。1898年，银矿工丹尼尔·普莱恩惟尤因井下作业事故摔断了腿，但他因祸得福了解到秘密的石油信息。他利用领养的孤儿HW欺骗乡民赢得了石油地盘，从此飞黄腾达。但是，成为石油大亨的他并不快乐，在一次意外事故中H.W不幸失聪，HW对他的怨恨与日俱增，他唯一认亲的兄弟居然也是冒牌货。传教士伊莱·桑迪不过是个借宗教蛊惑人心的小人。在一次采矿事故中，丹尼尔的工人不幸丧生。正当他希望伊莱施以援手时，对方羞辱了他，两人从此开始明争暗斗……。
