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.
#圣诞专题观影#意想之中的俗套，为啥要姐妹磨β？还好男演员们都还蛮帅的，演技也没烂到出戏的程度。
我可能对这种浪漫过敏吧 这男的什么也没对这女的付出啊！这么丑还要洗脑 拜托那是格莱美哎！
美国人也这么喜欢磕CP嘛？
歌都好好听啊，洛佩慈真是个会唱歌的人。喜欢她的尸比月殳。

每首歌都好听，不想和诺丁山比，诺丁山更弱智
不需要带啥脑子看的都市童话故事，轻松下不错，歌也可以，Jlo阿姨好像还蛮偏爱这种题材，，，想起几年前的天后助理也差不多是这样
可能这样的故事只出现在很多国产偶像剧里。
病友样子更怪，像一只巨型鸟类。
JLO一如既望的好看啊 她小女人的样子太可爱了
要是国内拍的就会被说成是男性屌丝导演的意淫
另外，亲嘴的时候被撞死...?原谅我不厚道但是莫名喜感。
女主奈飞校园青春片的御用女主。情节老套，好在细节还算精致些。美式校园爱情片怎么什么时候都不过时？
爱情歌舞剧，还不错，套路就是那些，歌挺好听的
两星半，通篇是洛佩兹个人YY，欧文威尔逊加半颗星
本来以为是个圣诞糖水片，结果全家拼命push给我看恐惧了，代入一下不就是过年回家的七姑八姨吗救命…帅哥完全工具人，谁跟谁都没火花，属实工业糖精了。Urie可爱。
3.5 歌是真的不错！jlo yyds
片尾还搞了个现在国产爱情片特流行的短视频风彩蛋，女经纪人和那个印度裔教练好了。一对81岁的老夫妻再加上主角cp自述结尾，味儿太冲了。
男主太丑了，詹妮弗洛佩兹吃了什么防腐剂，好美。好久没看这种大明星爱上我的喜剧了。
Soooooo stupid. Jennifer Coolidge is the only highlight, and tbh I don’t know why she agreed to do this movie. Answer: the gays are “obsessed with me.” 5/10
