沉默的十五分钟豆瓣

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.

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.。由尼尔逊．吉亭编剧的本片描述法国人在奠边府大败后撤出越南，再在阿尔及利亚镇压反殖民地哥命，又是泥足深陷，阿尔及利亚最终宣布独立。本片是一部政冶色彩浓厚的战争冒险片，以强硬的职业军人和温情的法国清年为两股相对抗的势力贯穿全片，不过导演马克．罗布森在表现政冶立场时仍不忘娱乐性镜头在影片中的穿插，故看来不会太沉闷枯燥，再者有大牌明星阿兰．德龙的加盟演出，使得本片具有很大的吸引力。。Christoph Pehofer took a nine-month journey through North America and Asia. Staying in hostels was a rare alternative. What he did instead was sleeping in complete strangers' living rooms - Couchsurfing is the concept behind this. The world seems to separate people more than connecting them. A private couch shows a place of approach and strangers becoming friends. Therefore, th...。
