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.。美国青年艾许（布鲁斯•坎贝尔 Bruce Campbell 饰）在和女友琳达（布丽切特•方达 Bridget Fonda 饰）度假时，偶然发现一本《死亡之书》。书中记载各种神秘的丧葬风俗以及招魂仪式，更为诡异恐怖的是，这本不应该存在于人间的书具有十分强大和邪恶的魔力。为与之斗争，艾许失去了女友和自己的右手，但最后还是体力不支，被《死亡之书》带到600年前的中世纪。他奇怪的穿着一度被骑士们当作间谍抓起来，经过一番波折，艾许决定帮国王打败《死亡之书》幻化出来的怪兽，这也是他回到现代社会的唯一办法…… 本片荣获1993年布鲁塞尔奇幻电影节金鸦奖、1993年葡萄牙奇幻电影节影评人奖、1994年美国科幻恐怖电影学院土星奖最佳恐怖片。。A family reunion at a remote mansion takes a lethal turn when they are trapped inside and forced to play a deadly survival game where only one will make it out alive.。
