"Veteran experimental filmmakers Danielle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub helmed this unusual adaptation of a novel by Elio Vittorini. Focused on the triumphs and failures of a group of laborers and farm hands who pooled their resources to operate an alternative collective farm after the end of World War II, Operai, Contadini features a cast of 12 actors who read aloud from Vittorini's book for the duration of the film, either reciting from memory or using a clearly visible script. Hardly designed to be a crowd pleaser, Operai, Contadini proved to be controversial among the audiences for its showings at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, where it was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight series." ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
"The group makes up a primitive community which seeks to erase not only the distress created by the war but also the hardships of life and hunger, and to protect them from violence, misery and fear. Amid the ruins of this post-war period, the characters build and invent a rapport both in their professional and daily lives between themselves, the sexes, generations, diverse social and geographical origins, and antagonistic political camps.
The group maintains a 'register', a kind of diary, as if it were entering the minutes of an inquiry or a trial." -Steve Grayson
"my favorite Straub-Huillet films are Too Early, Too Late and Operai, contadini (2001), both color landscape films with especially acute senses of place as well as of nature in all its harsh beauty." - Jonathan Rosenbaum
无聊至极，白左对极右的无力回击。一看到同志亦凡人的暴论我就无法克说，豆瓣真就开始和阿B、逼乎等一样全员降智，暴论迭出呗。
They say no man's an island, but an island makes a man.
他们revolution，他们蜕化，他们轮回。
剧本写得很紧凑，演技都不错，真实历史故事很精彩，每个人物的wikipedia page都精彩纷呈啊。Ramsey Clark代理了萨达姆的辩护案。
在今天这个日子刷这部，还有比我更（）的人吗？「Give me a moment, would you, friend? I have never been on trial for my thoughts before.」by Abbie Hoffman
工整严谨，也许激情不足，但能看出仿照对这一事件的反思
调度好厉害。虽然说主题立意远大于故事本身，但一个半小时我还是从头哭到尾。喜欢用圣经交流，加油站默哀，消防员妈妈和凌晨四点做德餐这几个片段！可能因为时长和故事基调，一些问题讨论得浅尝辄止。
教科书级别的剪辑，以及这一大票演员的出色演出
The whole world is watching.except us.
有什么用呢，现实不还是周而复始的上演，人类啊，就是这样
剧作非常好。美国历史上的六四，然而人家却可以拍得这么复杂深刻！
整体很精彩，是一部带有索金鲜明个人风格的电影。稍显不足的是有点过度娱乐化了，以及控辩双方并没有形成真正意义上的对决，完全是一边倒的表演。
音乐剧真是各种艺术元素的集大成者，诸多巧思，触动心弦。好久没有这样沉浸的体验了，观赏音乐剧的每一分钟里，生命似乎都更值得一些。
不然，一个寻衅滋事，完。。。
3.5 工整 呆板 没惊喜也不失望 我喜欢那本书的名字《偷走这本书》
对美国政治不了解 看得我一脸懵逼 以至于最后的唱戏觉得有点尬。
就是幾年前看過這個令我一發不可收拾的愛上歌劇！
情绪饱满的最后宣判一幕与《辩护人》遥相呼应，我深呼吸好几口气才把眼泪压下去。并不巧合的是，两片讲的都是政府蓄意给普通公民思想定罪的故事。
20年过去了。
我记得第一次看是在第一次艺考的那个冬天看的现场盗摄版，北京下了初雪，我躲在被窝里看这部剧，心里充满了对舞台的向往，然后情不自禁地流泪，至今我仍然觉得小成本音乐剧的成功典范就应该参考它，绝妙。
