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.。《统治》通过无人机航拍、隐蔽摄像机及手持摄像机的镜头，深入探讨人类与动物之间的六大领域：伴侣动物、野生动物、科研、娱乐、服装和食物，对人类统治动物的道德性与正确性提出质疑。 该片无疑已经成为2018年最受人瞩目的纪录片之一，其制作团队不仅有《地球公民》导演尚恩·莫森的加持，解说团队也集结了杰昆·菲尼克斯、鲁妮·玛拉等重量级明星。有观众在看完后，将影片称作“为新一代人而生的《地球公民》”。 在导演看来，“统治”意味着一个群体对另一个群体施加控制、权力或权威，统治者相信自己有这样做的权利。而这样一种信念，往往源于一种自我优越感以及“强权即真理”的观念。 通过影片，导演对社会上的一些普遍迷思提出挑战，例如“动物低人一等”，“人类有权对动物为所欲为”。另外，导演还简要探讨了人类的自我优越感如何与人类最阴暗的一些意识形态形成互补，观众也将看到种族歧视、性别歧...。一次偶然中，迪恩（杰米·贝尔 Jamie Bell 饰）发现了好友特里（Josh Janowicz 饰）的尸体，死因为自杀。迪恩并没有将这件事情告诉他人。原来，特里是学校中的一名贩毒头目，随着他的死亡，他所控制的一大批毒品下落不明，如何搞到这批毒品并借此获利才是迪恩真正感兴趣的事情。 为了得知毒品的下落，迪恩计划绑架特里的弟弟查瑞（格伦·克洛斯 Glenn Close 饰），没想到，最后他们绑架来的居然是和查瑞有着相似名字的查理（罗瑞·卡尔金 Rory Culkin 饰），这一严重的错误彻底搅乱了迪恩的计划，更糟糕的是，对于儿子的失踪，查理的母亲竟然毫无察觉。市长麦克（拉尔夫·费因斯 Ralph Fiennes 饰）的遭袭让小镇上蛰伏已久的问题彻底的暴露了出来，人们终于发现，原来平静安宁的生活不过是虚有其表。。
