Paris, summer 1942. Irene is Jewish and French. She is 19 and living a life of passions - Her friendships, her new love, her desire to be an actress - Nothing suggests that Irene's time is running out.。自从五年前父亲去世后，阿基拉·安德森慢慢成了“问题女孩”，她逃课，整蛊，总是和母亲坦娅作对，老师也拿她没办法。事实上，已经十一岁的阿基拉所作的一切都来自于她内心的孤独，加之对父亲的怀念，她开始沉溺于拼字游戏，并逐渐发现自己在这种游戏上的天赋。忙于养家、经常忽略阿基拉的母亲对此十分不解，认为她在不务正业、浪费时间，幸而阿基拉得到一位神秘教授的支持，并在学校的拼字比赛中一路胜出，还顺利拿到参加全国拼字大赛的机会。天赋加上努力，在一场场拼字比赛中，阿基拉找到了自信和自我，并且遇到一个强劲对手——一个亚裔男孩，两人从互看不顺眼的竞争发展成惺惺相惜……。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.。
