"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
#filmothèque 我们已经在阴间了，是没有轮回的——曾经有的也只是短暂的自欺欺人，是无处可说的焦虑，无处可恕的坍塌。可能是因为我们从来、也永远不敢书写一种名为罪与罚的文本。
第一部和脑腻在家里看完的电影，没想到居然是这部，而且还是四个小时超爽版，一边在给脑腻科普，一边享受惬意的周末时光可能是人生最美好的事情了，总之扎导剪辑版确实很丰满，零基础入门的脑腻也可以如此津津有味。
先说不好，四个小时还是太长了，中间差不多塞了一部钢骨solo，实在疲软。剧情的取舍也自然在这种长度里失去了其必要性，常有尾大难掉之感。
8.8
一场完整的有头有尾的梦，但完整感本身就不像梦，违和又神奇。/ 简单的叙事和复杂的变迁。/ 戏台的感觉太棒了，导演不愧是画画的，视觉强迫症表示极度舒适。/ 孟婆汤看起来真的好香啊…
真情实感哭了。超人可真是太好了啊啊啊啊！震惊！扎导原来适合拍电视剧？
超级英雄电影的荣光，指环王一般的史诗，扎克施耐德在dc最后的一夹子弹，全部在这部电影宣泄了出来。
我人都傻了，这就是导演剪辑版的魔力吗？很久没有看过这种每一场戏的节奏都莫名其妙还让人昏昏欲睡的电影了。
即使不去谈整个视听设计，戏剧重构，感官调动和不胜枚举的细节，如此「正常」的，诚实的，可贵的个人史就需要得到应有的赞美。此时此地真的配得上这样的电影吗？我们该如何面对它？
总结：中评
有声默片，很多场景十分梅里埃。也是近几年华语新片里少有的没有哪个角色/演员让我感到尴尬的，可能是方言、戏剧感对夸张表演的宽容度比较高。
3.5星。
这部的观感真是不错！之前那版我已经不太记得了，就是记得故事很莫名其妙。扎导剪辑的感觉很清楚啊。整体很OK。人物动机也让人可以理解，风格也是统一的。

但他哪有某些导演剪辑版狂热粉丝黑的那么那么神，能把电影改成面目全非。
不能说超越，只能说吊打
里面海王救人后潇洒离去的画面配上bgm实在是太帅了！
连看两遍，就爱渣导慢镜头mv！以及，小闪永远是最可爱的！
太有趣太厉害了，看完我都觉得我是四川话大师！前半部分荒诞，后半部部分现实的可怕。
前半段更为震撼。其实非希望这个故事更颠覆一些，更超现实，不必按着正史走，抗争可以多一些，甚至架空历史。
