"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
感官刺激确实强，讲个什么故事确实也没明白。
真看不懂导演想表达什么？也不愿意浪费脑细胞去猜测！电影中的元素太多了，感觉就是导演的思维垃圾桶，把平时的灵光一现都扔进来了，然后电影的形式发表出来。全程快进看完！
民间，才是本来的样子，才是真正的、欢乐的人间烟火的样子。
各种超越现知的猎奇画面真的让人瞠目结舌，确实很震撼。
We don’t choose the times we live in. The only choice we have is how we respond. 德国纪实治愈系导演克里斯蒂安总能从冷峻题材里提炼出人性的温暖一面，非常喜欢结局的设定和You dream的片尾曲选择。试问：如果战前的领导人更勇敢更有智慧，历史是否会改写
我太期待了！！！！！！！！/迷影与乡愁 其实很正统的
我也是真困，分了三次才看完，中途迷瞪好几次
太狂了 导演本人是地球人？这片子真够噩梦变态的
定格动画的巅峰之作。前无古人，后很难说有没有来者。瑕疵其实是表达欲望。如果什么都不想表达就是最最完美的呈现。但后半段那种表达的欲望还是将之拉入了庸俗的泥潭。
战争片段很星战，前半段黏糊糊的很下饭。。。剧情看的我似懂非懂
搞的这么cult，最后居然还是揭露一个简单的道理，人类自己给自己带来末世？但手工定格 这个工作量让人敬佩
充满奇怪想象力，极力展示共识美好的另一面，怪诞黑暗，不知所云
制作组足够努力……然而我对又脏又乱又湿的环境反感至极……看不下去
除了画面比较有冲击，想象力隐喻和讽刺的情节🐮
72/100 #Locarno2021# 人如蝼蚁、蛆虫，我们能看到阶级表达和大与小的对比，也能辨认出核战隐喻，新生婴儿穿行于后末日废土之中。在片中望远镜里看到的是历史还是未来？时间往哪个方向行走？或许还看到林奇、库布里克、芒蒂格...？在最后二十分钟色彩似乎才稍微有趣了起来。确切能看到的是工作量，因此常常在展示这些工作量，对空间的展示重于对观众真正地引导，似乎其中也并不真的有什么人物。当然，如果是B级恐怖片的逻辑，也许也不算大问题，问题是新鲜感还是不足够。
典型的我看不懂，但是大受震撼的片，末世地狱的展示、人类轮回的寓言，最后几分钟有点2001太空漫游的意思，但这种故事还是精简点比较好，塞很满有点太复杂化了反而表达得不太好

虽然看到快睡着、对这种意识流表达毫不感冒，但看到倒数二十秒的时候我震惊了：这部动画的制作年份是我的出生年、制作时间几乎等于我的年纪！
业余创作是挑战一个人恒心韧性的事情，完成mad god这样的动画要30年的长度、一辈子都不一定够、但业余创作最大的意义就是可以无视商业和观众的存在，为自己而做、纯粹又真炽、稀缺又疯狂、就有可能成为传奇
效果很牛逼，风格很诡谲
