The famed French ideologue of the New Novel and author of Hiroshima Mon Amour creates a hypnotic film about five alienated people isolated in an unworldly hotel. Enmeshed in ritualistic power games, they continuously exchange personalities as each acts out his own ambigious charades. A highly stylized, non-logical dialogue creates enigmatic fear; long, uniterrupted takes and absence of close-ups evoke ennui and distance. At the end, there is a mysterious climax of revolutionary destruction.
---- Amos Vogel “Film as asubversive art”

故事从军人和妓女开始，牵涉勾连一整串的爱恋纠葛，包括女朴、有钱人、夫妻、诗人、年轻女孩、已婚男子、女演员和公爵；10个场景，以5男5女在华尔滋舞蹈交换舞伴为比喻。每段情事在接力的情况下将各式欲望和情感不断递移下去，就像场景中的旋转木马，回转一圈后再绕回原点。影片对性爱的描述在当时十分大胆，并以讽刺的方式对爱情的真诚个虚伪作出了探讨……

　　战后最早的组合式影片，可能是来自于法国的文字主义运动。希尔多•依苏的《论诽谤言语与永恒性》（Traite de bave et d'eternite）,Treatise on Slime and Eternity，又名《诽谤言语与永恒性》Venom and Eternity (1951)，运用随手取得的片段、刮损的影片、黑色银幕、闪烁画面组合而成。依苏在片中精力旺盛的旁白，也刻意地脱离同步。

The prosecuting attorney Hoffmann from the central office of the regional administration of justice for the enquiry into national socialist crimes in Ludwigsburg visits the writer Bora Petrovic in Belgrade who, shortly after the war, reported in a book about the crimes in German extermination camps which mentioned the statements made by Lea Weiss. Lea Weiss must now repeat her statement which she gave Petrovic in court as a witness against a concentration camp doctor. She refuses and claims that her starements were purely fictional. Hoffmann asks Petrovic to come to Germany with him to try and change Lea Weiss`mind. But all of Petrovic's attempts are in vain. The victim`s sense of shame is too large, in contrast to the notoriously good conscience of the perpetrator. In the concentration camp, Lea Weiss was forced into sexual activities with the camp commander and was later abused at medical examinations. 20 years after the end of the war, suicide becomes the solution to her desperate situation. The film reacts to the Auschwitz trial in Main from 1964-1965 in great detail.
