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.。漫画家少女平日纵情烟酒一夜情,派对来者不拒,恣意快活的人生竟遭老天开了个大玩笑。连月以来令她下盘渐宽的暴饮暴食,竟是身体里的另一个小生命在分食;崩溃的心灵还来不及接受事实,就得为了搞清楚父亲是谁回想自己的约炮史。满腹的怨念化为她笔下的忍者宝宝,画着画着,宝宝竟跃然纸上想要跟她聊聊,试图扭转自己出生后的命运⋯⋯。 女生难为,除了得夺回子宫自主权,更痛的领悟是生产后就得负担起一辈子的母亲义务!媲美《鸿孕当头》的挪威轻喜剧,以自由少女的写意人生为主题,直球切入生育议题,透过卡通式的活泼动画呈现母子想像对话,轻松又深刻地映照当代少女的生命难题。。本片在当年大受欢迎,曾获奥斯卡最佳影片等七项金像奖,并同时成为年度最卖座电影冠军。歌影双栖巨星宾.克罗斯拜扮演年轻的神父,奉命去接管一个经济状况不佳的教区。他利用自己的作曲才华,又以随和的作风训练街头的孩子成为唱诗班,巡回表演筹款,终于解决了教堂重建的基金问题。导演利奥.麦凯里首先利用老神父和年轻神父的性格对比来制造喜剧趣味,接着把圣诗用流行曲方式演唱,打破宗教电影的严肃面貌,也成功地表达了“教会创新”的主题,因此受到大众的欢迎,接着更拍了续集《圣玛莉钟声》。 1992年,好莱坞以本片为蓝本重拍成《修女也疯狂》,将主角由神父改为修女,并由白人改为黑人,由说学逗唱皆能的胡比.戈德堡主演,果然再度轰动,并且也拍了续集。。
