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.。一位在事业上大获成功的雕塑家最近却因为收到一些神秘的信件而出现危机，原来是有人在向他寻求帮助。后来终于发现与他联络的是一个7岁的小男孩，一直遭受着抚养他的一对古怪夫妻的虐待。 随着雕塑家发现的越多，他觉察到自己的妻子与整个神秘事件竟然有着牵连。不久，他不得不面临抉择，是该任由男孩的生死还是放弃他所知道的全部事情和认识的每一个人。。讲述纽约历史上最恶名昭著的黑手党家族——甘比诺家族头目约翰·戈蒂的生平事迹。时间跨度长达30年，由戈蒂儿子John Gotti Jr(Spencer Lofranco饰) 回溯往事。 纽约街头混混出生的戈蒂偶然结识了当时甘比诺家族的二当家安尼罗·德拉克罗什，教父卡洛·甘比诺去世之前却将位置传给了保罗·卡斯特兰诺，后也导致卡斯特兰诺谋杀案，戈蒂如愿当上该家族第七任教父，他和妻子维多利亚(凯莉·普雷斯顿)试图让家族在多项悲剧事件与犯罪指控的情况下团结一致。2002年，患癌的戈蒂在监狱中去世，终年61岁。。
