"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
不喜欢事件真相揭露方式的处理，可以更高级一些的，犹豫了好久还是给了三星。
what are we living for
妹妹杀人 姐姐定罪入狱，出狱后仇人儿子绑架了领养家庭的女儿，最终姐妹二人终于见面
情节比较简单，但编剧可以，通过回忆一层层揭示真相，加上女主表演出众，所以完成度还不错，还是比较感人。不过被劫持时女主自始至终没有明说绑错人了，这点没看到有合理解读，阴暗吗？但后来又用自己身体护送出门，反正没说清楚。7.3/10分
就没有人说说妹妹的养母吗？从头到尾，好有理性，好有气质！
桑德拉布洛克都快六十岁了哇，最近两年几出大女主的戏个个精彩，就一个字，稳。凭本片应该能入围奥斯卡了。
形式到位了，但是剧情还差了点。一些零碎拼凑起来的东西没有很好地把更深邃触动的东西表现出来，同时也缺少情感爆发点。
剧情平平无奇。主要欣赏Sandra Bullock的演技 悲痛而又克制
前面那一组故弄玄虚的蒙太奇一出来就猜到真相了，故事本身很普通，但是桑德拉布洛克的演技太强了，又是要拿奖的节奏。结尾那个拥抱总算是看到了一点温暖。
这个故事处理出悬疑感可能也是一种无奈之举，但被遮蔽了的是那种隐藏其中的深刻冲突，觉得有点遗憾。Sandra Bullock可以准备等着提名了
女主的演技也太强了，最后的那段女主趴在地上时空闪现的场景真是绝了
烂片，本来就不可饶恕，非要饶恕坏人才算政治正确吗？？？？
女主太不容易了，结局😭😭😭她并不是不可饶恕的。一个很好的故事。
刚开始是英剧的慢节奏，最后半小时才拉上正轨，显得矛盾和冲突间夹杂了细腻。反转之处其实可以处理更好一些。
就算你想重新做人，社会没有那么的包容，等待的你只有残酷的歧视。傻大姐的表演可以再次封后了。
生而为人真可怜 可怜又真实 每一个人都是对的 每一个立场都无法反驳
对我而言最有意思的是他作为一个出狱犯的视角。这个世界像一个人的脑袋，然后这一部分人就会承托这个世界的黑暗面，而且黑暗，向他们聚集。
结局就这样？纯粹为了给女主秀演技的吧……其他点都是浅浅的点到为止
女主20年前为啥不找个年轻人演，跟她6岁的妹妹看起来像娘俩，其实20年后也像。
这个节奏好棒啊，也可能是演技？就是所有情绪积累到最后一刻，虽然明明最后一幕也没有刻意煽情？但是你就哭开了。里面也看到很多原生家庭问题，虽然这么说好像找借口，但确实这种影响有时候可以摧毁一切
