"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
ps 喜欢最后坐在红发女孩坟前的人还有那个小小的十字架与教堂穹顶的重叠
被死亡分开的塔维亚尼兄弟中，保罗向维托里奥的告别，非常个人化的一部影片。
洛维作为新生代文艺片导演，显示了他对于影像的把控能力。本片也值得写入今年影史的作品。
这种古欧故事对于不了解欧洲历史的我非常不友好...我觉得最后高文逃过一劫了，因为选择了诚实和守信
开始以为看了个奇幻电影 中间以为看了个恐怖电影 看到最后 好家伙 原来是个文艺片
这个世界充满了奥秘，我们只是身着绿衣的骑士，去追寻一种“荣耀”的理想生活

以后这样的作品能不能不要再进主竞赛单元啊，够浪费时间的，意大利电影有时候真的很踩雷
如幽灵般游荡在历史、小说、旧影与现实的灰烬里，在模糊了的互文中，写一篇悼文。
恐惧和胆怯是人之常情，但拒绝虚无，坦然面对，迎接解脱，也许这正是骑士精神的意义所在。
4.5 其实是三部分了。开头结尾单提出来，叙述者不明：也许是皮兰德娄，也许是维托里奥，也许是保罗，也许都是。而中间所有这些充满互文映射的黑白彩色，虚构重演，历史镜头当前影像，已完结的人生未完成的创作，全都化成灰烬掺在一起。对落单的塔维亚尼来说，电影就是一片没法包裹齐全的裹尸布，现在缺的只是一阵海风而已。
很稳。死亡与乡愁几乎是暮年大师们的永恒主题。看不懂是正常的！
都是名角，相比于晦涩的故事，这部电影的视听倒是实打实的好～
剧情晦涩冗长，除了有特色的镜头语言可看，普通观众根本无观看必要。
What's the meaning of this film?
越是老导演的片子反而更加返璞归真，影像也不难理解，还能拍摄就是最大的意义吧
视听还不错，故事神神叨叨的啥玩意|补完长评区大神的文章+1星，原来是个传统的骑士故事，背叛了所有“五德”，只要结尾愿意赴死就可以成为骑士，故事很古典。#sfm
去年看的，今天清一下迅雷才想起来。BDO重度爱好者狂喜。
