Not Reconciled (Template:Lang-de) is a 1965 West German drama film directed by Jean-Marie Straub. It has the subtitle Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns (Template:Lang-de). The film is an adaptation of the 1959 novel Billiards at Half-past Nine by Heinrich Böll.

Reception

Richard Brody of The New Yorker reviewed the film in 2008: "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."^[1]
