该片改编自乔纳森·雷蒙德的小说《半条命》。 19世纪20年代，一位沉默寡言、独来独往、技术娴熟的厨师奥提斯·菲戈威兹前往蛮荒的美国西部淘金，并在皮毛交易盛行的俄勒冈州境内加入了一个毛皮捕猎者的队伍。之后，他发现与一位同样在寻觅财富的中国移民路金有着真正的惺惺相惜的感觉。不久后，两人便依靠着附近地主费克托家的一头奶牛合伙做起了生意。。韩翠茹，酒店清洁工，温柔善良、勤劳坚韧，为了养老母亲和哥哥一家一天打三份工，一直未婚。而韩翠茹的母亲，重男轻女，自私自利，一直利用韩翠茹来养家，为了让女儿安心给家里赚钱，不惜装病20年。。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.。
