本片根据2001年美国俄亥俄州的一个真实事件改编。。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.。玲子为挽救与黄萌萌的婚姻危机,决定安排一次短途旅行重燃二人爱火。怎料酒店的李老板一房多卖,二人竟与另一对情侣撞房了。李小森和颖儿是昔日冤家校友,同学聚会后,颖儿发现当年曾举报过小森写给自己的一封情书,谜底揭开后二人开始审视自己与身边伴侣的关系,原来得不到的爱情一直在骚动……客房中四人一方急于化解感情危机,另一方为昔日悸动争分夺秒,一场充满荷尔蒙的夺房大战一发不可收拾。(电影根据舞台剧《迷情四分一》改编)。
