"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
关于创作瓶颈那回事，拍得还挺中规中矩地好的，虽然很想说“啊创作过的人会懂一点！”，但反驺一下，还是年底的标准冲奥定式暖色商业片。BTW今年《安妮特》珠玉在前，这部实在难听不到哪去。跟《爱乐之城》的对比也略微错误（跟《爱乐之城》的联系只能想到加菲和石头姐曾经的一段情……），更偏传记片的定位会让这片的视角比较折衷。也不知道所谓短评首页说的少数群体、有色族裔的加入符不符合史实，但恐怕不太符合这片所谓的“受众群体”口味……但俗话说得好，爱看音乐剧的不都是GAY吗？不太懂都在看音乐剧了为啥还在纠结这个问题。
到后期热泪盈眶，I have no time. I already 29.
p.s. 加菲，你还有多少惊喜是朕不知道的！
已经对这种中规中矩的传记片有些审美疲劳。疲惫又热情的加菲。
到了一定年龄，你就不再是端着餐盘的作家，而是一个有写作爱好的服务员。Tick，Tick...BOOM！个人觉得不及《爱乐之城》，情感的撕扯和卖惨的剧情，实在比不过人生真实的无奈。
当你拥有一切时，一切都会主动来找你；当你一无所有时，整个世界都在阻拦你~
Fear or love, baby, don’t say the answer, action speaks louder than words…近几年来最对胃口的片子。才华，执着和活着，苦难总可以构成结局的一部分。
《月亮与六便士》，事业与爱情永远不能兼得。
C— / 很好听（字面意义）的电影，至少节奏流畅，拍成加长版MV也好过暴露剧作的平庸。
You just wanna lay down and cry
Actions speak louder than words.
故事，歌曲，表演都不錯，但舞台音樂劇與電影的那種違和感從頭持續到尾
用自传体音乐剧来演绎音乐剧作家的传记，加菲虽然唱得没那么好，但演得很加分啊，简直就是拉森。

影片是乔纳森拉尔森的个人传记片，讲述充满音乐剧才华天赋的他是如何在穷困潦倒一文不名的时候坚守梦想最后终于成功的故事，他创作的最成功的音乐剧《吉屋出租》在百老汇上演了13年，可他却在《吉屋出租》出演第一场前因病去世了，可谓是悲剧天才。
开头的歌真是不错 但看到后边就开始乏味了 剧情的内核也是深深的第一世界人民的为赋新词强说愁 标准冲奥片 勉强给七分
不跟《爱乐之城》比较就还可，一旦比较就立刻千疮百孔。音乐、调度、编舞（如果有）和剧作人物一样既没有整体感也没有层次感，文本本没有足够丰富的情绪，却要塞入大量的唱段和内心戏，只会显得絮烦甚至有点傻。唯一真正让我喜欢的点是刻画创作焦虑的感觉是对的，但作为内卷时代的“后浪”看他们的焦虑真的难以抑制的有种嫌弃感。大概这位新导演以为引入同性、有色裔再来谈梦想就是跟上了时代，呵呵这不叫创作，这叫他妈的投机取巧！Shame on you！！！
life is too short to idle around. 30岁了，还是没有过多的成绩，tick, tick, let's not let the boom happen
大概是年度最佳音乐剧吧，扎实、流畅，在传记片中加入了对时间和生命的探讨，只不过爱情线一如既往的无聊。
不错啊，不过可能更多才华来自原版音乐剧？加菲我觉得演的很好，艺术家的癫狂，还有一点可爱。不要看到一点不太写实的表演就说演的太过，是适配电影风格的。
