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.。一个朔风凛列、大雪纷飞的夜晚，盖地虎绺子的少当家杨天笑在下山来龙王镇治腿伤的路上，被到柳林拉客的暗娼冯秋月接到了家中。长时间的共同生活，让杨天笑深深地爱上了这个善良貌美的风尘女子。但尽管如此，杨天笑始终没有忘记二十三年前，龙王镇严家烧锅的老东家严伯康糟蹋自己的母亲致死的家仇。 腿伤痊愈的杨天笑回到山中绺子里，盖地虎绺子的大当家杨青山得知儿子已经与冯秋月结下情义，并为老杨家喜添贵子，当即派人前往龙王镇打探消息。谁知，此时的冯秋月被贩马回来的丈夫齐二混赶出了家门。幸亏有从春宫院被赎出的陶兰相助，秋月和怀里的孩子才幸免一死。 母亲的惨死在杨天笑的心里埋下了深深的仇恨。为此，杨天笑亲率弟兄打下严家烧锅，炸平了严家的祖坟，含泪祭奠惨死的母亲。看着一天天长大成熟的天笑，杨青山典鞭立天笑为盖地虎绺子的二当家，并将齐二混请到山上，喝酒解怨。为使盖地虎后继有人，杨青山给秋月生下的孩子取名杨震山。严家祖坟被毁，严伯康下战表于杨青山。结果，两个二十多年的冤家仇人双双毙命于茫茫雪原之中。 严伯康的儿子严子安从沈阳讲武学堂毕业回到家乡后，带领严家营对盖地虎绺子发起了致命性的攻击。强大的攻击下，为不至于将兄弟们带上绝路，杨天笑让弟兄们各奔东西，以期来日方长。杨天笑下山来看冯秋月却险些被齐二混带来的严子安所抓获。逃亡中，杨天笑意外的找到了五叔和兄弟双喜。心中的仇恨让杨天笑隐忍了十三年后，重新找回失散的弟兄们，拢起盖地虎绺子，起局重来。。
