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.。年过半百的家庭主妇水泽麻子（黑木瞳 饰）心中隐藏无数的委屈，结婚二十多年一直在婆婆的威严下如履薄冰，丈夫博行（石田纯一 饰）又与单位下属发展成情人关系。婆婆去世后，麻子多年媳妇熬成婆，可刚刚过了两年舒心的日子，谁曾想自己也马上晋升为婆婆的位置。身为派遣职员的24岁儿子优太（郭智博 饰）迎娶爽朗阳光的女孩李里香（相武纱季 饰），然而在她看来李里香似乎过于机灵世故，其开朗的笑声后仿佛总隐藏着什么秘密。与此同时，社区内一名公务员意外失踪，引起警方高度关注。为了守护家庭，麻子开始有意调查儿媳妇的过去，终于发现了令她震惊的事实。 当然，她的这番调查也无意中燃起婆媳间休止已久的战火……。
