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.。大明正德年间，西北的飞砂镇上，神童朱鼒材棋艺高超，无人可比！在京城，大宦官刘瑾妄想篡位夺权，保皇的安华郡王发动兵谏被杀，而朱鼒材正是安化郡王的嫡孙，全家惨遭杀害时他幸免于难。刘瑾派遣东厂的精锐来杀朱鼒材！朱鼒材在世外高人‘冬瓜老’的点拨下，运用擅长的棋艺，不仅救了母亲，还准备动身进京，向皇帝告御状，扳倒当朝的大权奸。。
