米兰，1992年2月，冰冷的风吹过意大利企业家们的办公室。这是属于“净手运动”的一年，由米兰地区检察官发起的反贪污政治调查吹响了变革的号角，其目的是给“贿赂之都”带来终结。莱昂纳多·诺德是这个错综复杂的权力游戏中的一个关键，他是一个聪明的广告人，他只相信自己，他将是第一批拥护新的“统治者”踏上政治舞台的人.....。一老一少两个在北极冰原上驻站的气象学家除了要面对令人冻僵的天气还要学着处理一样僵持的关系，这样一个现代版的传奇故事发生在一个坐落在北极Chukotka岛的气象站，那是俄罗斯几乎最北靠东部的一个自治区。即使是在夏季岛上的唯一两个临时居民——在这里呆了很久的技术人员Sergei (Sergei Puskepalis饰演, 他还是演过阿列克谢-普斯科帕里斯基上部片子"Simple Things"), 和一个从大学来的新人 Pavel (新人 Grigory Dobrygin) –当他们外出读取仪表数据的时候仍然需要穿很多衣服。他们唯一与现代文明的联系就是一台用来回报数据的双向无线电。 两个人的关系发生着什么样的微妙变化，在这个一年四季白雪皑皑的地方……。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.。
