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.。年轻拮据的吴在京（尹继尚饰）连续参加了三年司法考试都未获通过，为了赚点儿生活费他在监狱找了份狱警的工作。可是从当狱警的第一天起就有罪犯开始欺负在京，这让在京不知所措。已经当了10年狱警的宗浩（赵在铉饰）提醒他“动物不会欺负比自己更强的家伙”，并开始一步一步的教在京管理罪犯的方法。除此之外，狱警长（朴仁焕饰）经常跟死刑犯聊天、下围棋，这也让在京倍感惊讶。 某一天，首尔监狱突然出现了一条大新闻。在过去12年里一直被废除的死刑，因为连环杀人犯张龙斗的案件而即将被恢复。几天后法务部的死刑执行命令书被发送到了首尔监狱，这在狱警中引发了轩然大波。宗浩主张死刑只是法律的一部分，愿意执行死刑，但除了他没有一个人愿意被安排到执行组。这时，死刑犯张龙斗试图自杀，而唯一拥有死刑执行经验的金狱警长则突然消失了。 这一天，自杀的张龙斗被抢救过来，和另一位将近70岁的死刑...。
