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.。根据Martha Norman荣获普利策奖的同名戏剧改编，两代影后Anne Bancroft和Sissy Spacek共同奉献了精湛的演出。1983年的某个清晨，寂寞的美国小镇上，Jessie告知母亲Thelma,她将在今天结束自己的生命，Thelma只有想尽一切办法让女儿找到活下去的希望…… 本片入围1987年柏林电影节竞赛单元，Anne Bancroft凭借其近乎完美的表演获得当年金球奖影后提名。。该剧讲述癌症患者乐观勇敢面对生命与死亡的故事。张幸福是一名45岁的中学老师，本应有着幸福美满的家庭生活，然而一个偶然的情况下她得知了自己罹患末期癌症。张幸福本打算瞒着家人放弃治疗，用生命的最后一百八十天帮助丈夫、儿子、弟弟、婆婆等安排好生活，之后一个人静静迎接死亡。但是她的强势与急于求成并没有得到家人的配合，反而引发了一系列令人啼笑皆非的故事。在张幸福与家人互相磨合与较量的过程中，她懂得了如何去理解与倾听他人，也重新发现了生活与爱情的意义，明白果断选择死亡并不是真正的勇敢，为了自己与家人抓住一切希望活下去，才有令生活更加幸福的可能。最终她直面绝症，选择了与病魔抗争到底。。
