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.。1995年冬天，加拿大魁北克正对是否独立进行第二次公投，一位连环杀手隐居在蒙特利尔的一个小镇上的公寓里，公寓里的居民必须想清楚哪个邻居是值得信任的，哪个邻居是危险的。。CAT父暴毙，遗下考古日记，列录二次世界大战日军秘密埋于菲律宾森林之战利宝藏资料。忧伤又 野性的她遂应密友安娜及小丸子邀请，到菲律宾散心兼寻宝。CAT之父实为伪钞党漏网主脑，香港卧底杀手国栋亦赴马尼拉，诱捕在逃头目周祥了结全案立功自保。安娜和男友李察及小丸子陪伴CAT到森林度假村，途中惹艳的小丸子色诱李察与安娜争欲；同时国栋冒充森林专家向CAT自荐，以收集CAT父罪证；匪首周祥亦尾随虎视；CAT只顾寻宝，哪知危机四伏。最后的争斗拉开了序幕......。
