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.。喜剧演员杰克事业走下坡路有一阵子了，不过，希望还没完全消失，他将扮演重拍经典电视剧《家有仙妻》中的男主角达伦，在经理人的建议下，为了自己的地位，杰克强烈要求让一个新人饰演剧集中的女巫萨曼莎。《家有仙妻》将会让杰克重新成为巨星——前提是，他能为节目找到一个合适的女巫饰演人选。千挑万选，杰克终于碰到了他心目中完美的女巫，伊莎贝尔。她不仅迷人漂亮、有股女巫的味道，甚至还会像真的女巫一样动鼻子。鼓动起自己的三寸不烂之舌，杰克终于劝得伊莎贝尔加盟剧组。果然，电视剧的播出让杰克声名鹊起，伊莎贝尔也成为了众人心目中的完美女巫。为伊莎贝尔的魅力所俘虏，也为了巩固自己的地位，让《家有仙妻》继续下去，杰克决定向伊莎贝尔求婚。很快，两人就步入了结婚礼堂，不过杰克不知道的是，他的可爱妻子还真是一位有魔法的美丽女巫。想骗女巫的感情，可有杰克好受的了！。
