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.。在这部全新单口喜剧特辑中,坦诚而内省的喜剧演员西蒙·阿姆斯特尔敞开心扉,谈论了自己的神经质、向父亲出柜的经历以及情感关系等话题。。约会类电视节目《我们约会吧》收视率一路走低,眼看面临停播,制片人盛蓉(刘威葳 饰)决定孤注一掷,邀请话题人物参与节目录制以求翻身。珍妮(李菲儿 饰)调入《我们约会吧》,新人气盛接下了盛蓉的任务——邀请频频在八卦杂志亮相的富二代陆嘉森(王柏杰 饰)担任嘉宾。另一方面,珍妮的表姐顾迦(吴辰君 饰)痴守音乐人高梵(丹尼斯·吴 饰)十年,最近迫于家庭压力只得与各色人物相亲。盛蓉节目组的编导简晨为了歌手女友莎莎(曹苑 饰)事业发展,选择对外隐瞒了他们的恋情。新一期可能也是最后一期的《我们约会吧》将在情人节开始录制,围绕着剧组的几对年青人各自在思考真爱的意义……。
