进击的嘲讽

视频简介

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。。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.。
