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.。莱安的父母因为工作原因需要出国，于是将年幼的莱安送到了在蒙太纳山区生活的爷爷那里，莱安不太习惯山区的生活，也非常思念远方的父母，因此常常显得闷闷不乐。 一天，一只受伤的野狗出现在了爷爷家的门廊上，莱安收留了野狗，悉心的照料它的伤势。野狗的到来缓解了莱安对亲人的思念，很快，一人一狗之间就建立了信赖和友谊。莱安想要把野狗带回位于波士顿的家里当做宠物狗来饲养，但是爷爷知道，野生动物热爱自由的天性是永远不会被磨灭的，为了让莱安懂得这个道理，爷爷决定把《野性的呼唤》这本书读给莱安听。。新年到来之际，伊莲（Eva Birthistle 饰）和丈夫约拿（Stephen Campbell Moore 饰）带着三个孩子凯茜（Hannah Tointon 饰）、米兰达（Eva Sayer 饰）和波利（William Howes 饰）驱车前往乡下，与妹妹克洛（Rachel Shelley 饰）一家四口共度新年，只有伊莲的大女儿凯茜因为不能参加好友的聚会而有些闷闷不乐。久未见面的孩子们快乐玩耍，大人们愉快畅谈，但欢乐的气氛慢慢被不安的因素所侵染。先是波利变得沉默孤僻，接着米兰达也显得惴惴不安，其他的孩子也相继出现异样。大人们完全没有注意到孩子们的变化，只采取粗暴和敷衍的手段解决。次日聚餐之时，孩子们突然陷入混乱与惶恐。纯真的天使们由此化为令大人战栗不安的魔鬼…… 本片荣获2009年葡萄牙国际奇幻电影节特别提及。。
