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.。在5000年前的古埃及，俄摩拉城因其城主曼侬手握重兵，并且统治非常残暴，使其称霸一方。为了反抗他的统治，领地里的其他部落组成联盟向其发动了多场战争。但是结果都是大败而归。原来，在曼侬身边有一位精通巫术的神秘人物，她能预知未来，遇见部落联盟的战术安排，由此帮助曼侬百战百胜。在知晓这一情况后，部落联盟决定派出一位刺客先把这个神秘人物除掉。但是当刺客摩挲尤斯深入城内准备暗杀那个神秘人物时，却发现这是一位漂亮的女人，而且是因为受到曼侬的威胁才被逼帮助曼侬。最终，他们的目标从这位神秘人物身上转到了直接刺杀曼侬，一场生死大战就此展开……。
