'Stories Not to Be Told' shines the comedic spotlight on those kinds of situations we've all found ourselves in, but which we'd rather no one ever knew about, or which we wish we could forget about altogether.。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.。这部带有超现实主义色彩的剧集以幽默、「天真」的视角来描绘当代年轻人（特别是纽约市的年轻人）的约会生活——真可谓酸甜苦辣咸五味俱全。所谓「超现实主义」，是指该剧把谈恋爱看做一件「生死攸关」（life-and-death stakes）的事情。这个项目根据Simon Rich撰写的畅销书《The Last Girlfriend On Earth》改编，Simon Rich亲自担任剧集创作人。年仅28岁的Simon Rich因此成为好莱坞历史上最年轻的剧集创作人之一。 主人公Josh Greenberg（Jay Baruchel）是一个骨子里充满浪漫主义但又过于天真单纯的年轻人，当相处多年的女友将他抛弃后，他决心再次寻找爱情——但那对他来说无异于重历一场噩梦。一夜情，痛苦的分手，闪电相亲，时间旅行，性爱外星人，许多死亡……甚至一个叫「田中」的日本阳具怪兽…...。
