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.。由于丈夫的意外死亡，单亲母亲Nancy Botwin（玛丽·露易斯·帕克 Mary-Louise Parker 饰）成了一名膝下抚有两子的单身母亲，一无所长的她找不到一份能养活一家三口的工作，为维持家里的生计她选择了在所住的富人区里贩卖大麻，虽然收益丰厚，却也风险不小。大儿子Silas（亨特·帕瑞施 Hunter Parrish 饰）正处青春期，叛逆不羁。小儿子Shane（亚历山大·古尔德 Alexander Gould 饰）有点孤僻，不合群。最糟糕的是小叔子Andy （贾斯汀·柯克 Justin Kirk 饰）还寄住家中总是胡作非为。Nancy在贩大麻的同时还要辛苦躲避她的孩子，亲友，还有她的好友Celia（伊丽莎白·帕金斯 Elizabeth Perkins 饰），于是闹出了一连串啼笑皆非的事……。
