上世纪60年代，经济繁荣，意大利富饶的北部正在修建欧洲最高的建筑，而在该国的另一端，年轻的洞穴学家在未受破坏的卡拉布里亚腹地探索欧洲最深的洞穴。比富尔托深渊的底部、地面下方700米处，将首次迎来人类造访。附近的村民没有注意到这群探险者，但波利诺高原的老牧羊人却注意到他离群索居的生活开始与这群人的探险交织在一起。。少年犯弗雷迪被赋予在14天内消灭年迈族长苏莱曼的任务。苏莱曼是一个臭名昭著的走私犯和地方强人，也是弗雷迪的叔叔。在他们努力说服他的过程中，苏莱曼的母亲、他自己的父母大卫和玛丽，以及最后苏莱曼本人向弗雷迪讲述了一个充满犯罪、死亡和痛苦的过去，每个人都为自己过去的行为给出了自己的理由，并说明了为什么苏莱曼应该受到这样的命运。。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.。
