"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
22.5.23: 在去LA的飞机上看的，其实之前刚到美国的时候想去电影院看，但是因为忙着开学就错过了。我觉得挺不错的，主要是AF奶奶的经历太过于传奇。JHud唱的也很不错
社会有社会的规矩，监狱有监狱道义～
母亲逝世遗留的创伤、热门单曲的打造过程、对黑人民权运动的参与、跟几位生命中重要男人的对抗，导演几乎什么都想讲一点，最后就呈现出一席毫无重点的流水账。
故事有一些不太对劲的地方。但比较完整，娱乐性够，可看
这叫电影？这还是港片吗？以后这种片收费要骂一晚上
感觉刀疤死的太突然了，前面铺垫好久结果邓瀚宗最后那一下子好轻松解决了🤣
以及恭喜张sir荣获本季最佳辅助！
香港的监狱有闭路电视啦？那么想搞事更难了。想起几年前的躲猫猫等事件。内地的监狱是不是也到处是摄像头了？
能不能拿个好剧本拍啊这一天天的？能不能能不能能不能？
4/10，老套路的成长传记，已经很难打动我了
男人和女人、家长和孩子、家庭和社会……在女神的坎坷和音乐的回响中，你能设想自己的Amazing Grace么？我觉得本片和《云图》以及格非的《江南三部曲》，都抓住了这个设问的关键线索——支配关系 or 伙伴关系。
评分未必高，但三部连看，还是很爽～
无独有偶，跟《梅艳芳》一样都是流行天后编年体传记片，难以避免的走马灯节奏，但Jennifer Hudson更幸运的地方在于，这个剧本除了展现Aretha Franklin的天赋和才华，还比较巧妙地围绕个人挣扎与救赎的主题，讲述她面对性侵、家暴、酒瘾，以及参与黑人民权运动的历史，所涉议题之尖锐，加上富于感染力的表演，在一定程度上弥补了编年体流水账的缺陷。相较而言，《美国诉比莉哈乐黛》通过截取天后的某一时期某一具体事件进行深入演绎的做法，会更符合当代故事片的审美。然而对于巨星的粉丝，编年体还是喜闻乐见的形式。
5星好评，逃狱逃出新角度新视野，值得一看，监狱也越来越和谐了，哈哈哈
标准的美式暴力片，漏洞肯定有，也没啥好评价
最近重温港剧，看看那些年的男神，喵到肉的这电影，看了下，嗯，到底是我长大了，还是他们的套路已经看腻了！男人是帅的，剧情的无语的！
满眼疲态
图书馆不错。感觉在香港坐牢条件可以。
P.S. 最后的投票彩蛋真的超级可爱又有创意！唔…如果非要投的话，就投刀疤哥吧～盲猜他年轻的时候应该蛮招人喜欢哈哈～
导演看监狱里伙食太好了刀疤越来越胖了 只好让他领饭盒去了
