"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

及格分吧，前半段设定非常老套，非常政治正确。后半段又完全没有逻辑且不在节奏上。估猜是凯奇和私生饭导演躲到西班牙海岛上闭关嗑嗨了整出来的剧本。这么一想又行为艺术般地完美地呼应了电影情节。。。凯奇叔真是宝藏啊
以后再看尼古拉斯.凯奇的电影我特么就是猪，不就是给古琦打广告么，用得着这样？？？
其实挺糙，但是我突然意识到，我还挺喜欢这个烂片之王的，以及佩德罗演的真棒
凯奇演凯奇、凯奇看凯奇、凯奇吻凯奇，玩梗很欢乐但好在不只是玩梗，戏内的凯奇和戏外的凯奇，戏内做演员的凯奇和做间谍的凯奇，都形成了现实与电影的一种有趣的互文，满脸囧像的佩德罗和凯奇间的火花也很好。很高兴叔终于又开始接大制作了，翻身指日可待。
戏里戏外还是一样浮夸。同样“演自己”，还是之前的尚格云顿更诚恳一些。
其实想翻盘有点夸张了，人家也没说要翻盘啥的。
“有时候生活会阻拦你的爱情。”
电影很有趣，不过很多主角光环的存在以及生硬的连接只能让我很勉强的给出四颗星。
哈哈哈，蛮好玩的，看到尼古拉斯·凯奇认真地饰演自己，也是一种奇妙的体验

7/10.
情节好好笑，编排也蛮妙的。最终我们都要学会怎么和自己和解。
两个演员都好帅的，剧本还是挺套路，本来以为会更疯一点
因为没看过多少凯奇的片子，所以感触较少，不能共情，只能看个热闹
Why do you guys go CRAZY for Paddington 2???
这么烂的片还分析或者点评个啥。烂片王有很多佳作毋庸置疑，但这部显然不是，稀烂！
以自身为寓言，将电影的摄制与电影剧情的走向相融合，尼古拉斯凯奇这几年每年都能给我们带来一些“非主流化”的惊喜（如前几年的《星之彩》，《猪》一般）当然里面从尼古拉斯凯奇延展开的一些迷影情节也很不错，《卡里加里博士的小屋》 当然可以与《帕丁顿熊2》共存，电影从不是非此即彼的二元对立，人与人的关系亦然。
我非常喜欢，尤其前半部。披着烂片的皮，讲了一个友情和成长的故事。
本以为凯奇叔儿终于要回归the weather man那种文艺片了，没想到还是拐到枪战去了……
