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.。90年代初在布宜诺斯艾利斯，10岁的阿曼达与弟弟妹妹由离婚分居的父母轮流照顾。孩子们与父亲在一起时自由欢脱，但阿曼达必须像成年人一样照顾所有人；有一天，母亲提议带他们出国定居，远离父亲的混乱生活。父亲显得若无其事，阿曼达却陷入两难抉择。影片将当下生活与家庭录像相结合，搭配90年代阿根廷独立摇滚乐，在热烈怀旧的气息中体味失落的温情。。在动乱的年代下，数万年轻人被抛在了人生的十字路口，事业、爱情、理想，如此等等，都成为他们不得不去面对与抉择的关键。而他们的每一次选择，也将影响各自的命运。黄浦江畔，滚滚江水是彷徨着不断的愁绪。毕业于华东大学的小徐找不到工作，一度起了轻生的念头，关键时刻被老赵（赵丹 饰）救下。老赵和小徐、阿唐、刘大哥都毕业于名门学府，可是空有一身才学却无法在乱世找到自己的位置。绝望的小徐踏上归乡之途，刘大哥奔赴战场。老赵和阿唐则分别在报馆和商店找到一份工作。在一次冲突中，老赵结识了在纱厂当教练员的姑娘杨芝瑛（白杨 饰），爱情之花艰难地绽放。 十字街头，年轻人们摸索寻找着未来的路……。
