"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
最精彩的无疑是女机长的自白之歌。还是挺感动的，但作为一部音乐剧，说话太多歌曲太少，然后每个演员都担任好几个角色稍微有些混乱。还可以吧，但没什么惊艳之处。
世界大同的感动，强烈地感觉到中国离普世价值越来越远了
太美好的歌舞剧了 只字不提911 奇妙的视角刻画了每一个人
哭死我了，故事本就很动人，这舞台调度更是超凡
歌好听 女性力量 布景简陋演员很厉害 但是政治正确观念输出令人反感
我们可以看到人类最大的善意闪光的同时也能不逃避自私与阴暗面，但是总是向善的。不回避创伤与痛苦的作品才是真正伟大的！这是一部没有任何理解壁垒的片子!太棒了
北美人民真的好富裕好乐观。动人的旋律始终是百老汇成功的前提条件啊，滚去循环ost。
妈妈别怪我乱花钱，来了美国只要花钱啥都能看到，这能怪我吗？
本来想2020年五月回国看的，可惜一个疫情打乱了一切。机长和我的驾校教练长得太像，导致我时不时就跳戏XD
"We honor what was lost. But we also commemorate what we found." 有趣又感人 真·命运共同体 看完好治愈啊🥰
这才是音乐剧，有好故事有好音乐有好表演，开大巴的那段动作非常逼真。
疫情前买的最后一场巡演演出 然鹅最终取消了 终于等到了官摄 卡着今天点开 哭成狗
我们在窗边点亮蜡烛
这种片子看得才过瘾，内容充实拍摄效果棒，养眼又治愈
me and the sky太好哭了！！！！
泪目了好多次，到最后消防员母亲得知噩耗的时候终于绷不住了，曲风虽然不是我喜欢的，但是从纽芬兰岛这个角度看911的取材非常特别且意义非凡
去年4月我本来应该在天桥看现场的。疫情改变了很多。Terrorisme等其他的événements也是。
又是一部优秀的音乐剧，节奏轻快，感情真挚。
非常感谢我豆瓣上并没有关注的丹丹丹推荐此片，她是多么了解我啊，作为基督徒、素食者、关心动物、崇尚利他主义的人，怎么可能不一边抽泣一边激动地敲下这些赞美呢？
2/26 @ Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. 最近新闻看的焦虑, 这一场及时给我打了一针强心剂. I am an islander, so should everybody.
