"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
Aaron Sorkin拍自己写的剧本，那也是坏一部，好一部，然后再坏一部，整体发挥不算稳定，本身也容易被真实的历史故事给拖住。话说与其看两个半小时的“假脸”妮可解决婚姻和事业问题，“自嗨”过头，我不如直接去看《我爱露西》！
just a call girl
看起来七君子审判的冲奥溃败让艾伦索金变得急躁了，这个片子的大脉络是能好的，但明显没细心处理多线之间的关系，导致出轨线和公关线看起来完全无法相融。
前聚后虚，前虚后聚，前聚后虚。
中规中矩，很工整但没什么爆发点。女神和Javier的妆发都认不本人出来了。
不知道是不是喜剧给人的感觉很好演，觉得表演很一般。
就这无聊的剧本，索金不会指望有人一遍看不明白还看第二遍吧…
《关于一心转行导演的艾伦索金用三部电影把三十余年编剧生涯的reputation败了个精光这件事》
B-. 剧本打磨得锃光瓦亮以至于变成塑料质感。索金照例用高密度台词和全方位的social agenda，将文本压迫至承受的极限，殊不知结尾那一秒漏拍的失神，才是密不透风中终于得以呼吸的动人瞬间。
2. 艾伦索金室内戏竟然大翻车😢
2021年12月22日观看。妮可感觉变样了。
全靠Nicole一个人挑大梁，剧情稀碎，很容易就走神了，全程不能投入进去。
Nicole Kidman永远不能被忽视~
求求Aaron Sorkin拍拍拿手的政治题材吧 人物传记真的不合适啊 比茉莉牌局还不行
内容确实有些过满，但剥洋葱式的繁复结构意外地凑效。
作为传记片有点失败，看完让人完全不想了解这个人物原型和故事背景，妮可基德曼的妆发也很夸张，很像蜡像假人。
当导演还是很要天赋的 显然索金的天赋点都点在编剧上了 当然了 这部编剧也挺一般的
妮可很拼，巴登很hot
Nicole Kidman 的脸到底是怎么了？一度以为她为了接近原型而化了特效妆
就这无聊的剧本，索金不会指望有人一遍看不明白还看第二遍吧…
