　　Volker Schlöndorff transposes Bertolt Brecht’s late-expressionist work to latter-day 1969. Poet and anarchist Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal roams through forests and along motorways, greedy for schnapps, cigarettes, women and men: ‘You have to let out the beast, let him out into the sunlight.’ After impregnating a young actress he soon comes to regard her as a millstone round his neck. He stabs a friend to death and dies alone. ‘You are useless, mangy and wild, you beast, you crawl through the lowest boughs of the tree.’　　The film takes youthful impetuousness and hatred of oppression as its subject and also ponders the cult of genius and sexual morals. Rainer Werner Fassbinder simultaneously plays both Baal and himself and is surrounded by many actors who were later to perform in his own films. After the film was broadcast on West German television, Brecht’s widow Helene Weigel prohibited any further screenings, arguing that the social circumstances engendering Baal’s rebelliousness had not been adequately explained.

一对夫妇向女儿的男朋友讲述他们的圣诞爱情故事。每年都有很多关于圣诞节的电影。有的还行,有的则是老生常谈。这部电影打破了所有的甜饼切割机,使陈词滥调消失殆尽。我喜欢。在"今日"的浪漫故事中,我们得到了一个浪漫的故事。然而,"浪漫中的浪漫"却是真实的故事,而且故事具有全部的深度。两个人经常见面,环境使他们无法就彼此究竟是谁达成交易。然而,事实证明,男子正在组织一个圣诞节,而妇女决定了节日的预算,他们只对节日进行远程沟通,但总是有分歧。但当他们面对面见面时,他们的关系就像魔术一样。这个故事既有趣又动人,他们什么时候才能知道真相的悬念也伴随着这部电影。
