"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
有那么一下子心情又回到了去年晚上躲被窝里边看新闻边哭的时候，好无助啊
噩运骤然来袭，在彼时人们的面前，尤其是对前线医护工作人员而言，是一种未知的、庞然的恐惧。更甚者，上层讳莫如深，底层奉为牺牲。阴暗也好，残酷也罢。都是无可奈何的事。文学改编或者影视化呈现，应该更加实事求是。一次群体的疾苦，是已然造成的摧残事件，用人们的创伤去歌功颂德，是对遭殃人群的漠视与冷血。或许是因为本片中运用的长镜头及低鸣压抑的配乐，多次令人联想起《女人的碎片》，同样有一种莫名的怏然之感。沉默、苍白。｜7.0
对于新冠很真实的写照，讲一个故事，记录一段事件，拍的真好。长镜头+虚焦把焦虑和无助完全表现，朱迪演技真棒！今年已经好几部大片了，大火！
当然本片也不是每个方面都做得优秀，最后Sarah和Tony的感情线就显得非常突兀，而一味地控诉也让我觉得说教意义太浓重。但作为当下为数不多的讲述新冠疫情的电影，这种在大事件中描写小人物的故事比流水账式的记录每一个大事件的更能让人共情。
3.5两位主演的表演非常不错…
但有用么？
很有愛，也很真實。至少在某些國家，是不太可能用這樣的角度來思考和表現的。
现实比电影里还要绝望无助与残酷，大时代之下渺小的个人被牺牲在数字里
沉浸感真好，还是得由小见大，本来都能达到效果，可咱总是搞反。
Kenny呼吸难受的那段，默默的用桌上的Sanitiser洗了三遍手………
我亲身经历过，我看见过那些谎言，也看见过无数的人如何自救，又如何被抹去姓名。这一粒尘镜头拍不到，它总有被遮蔽的良心。
回忆起了疫情刚开始经历的那种恐惧，焦虑，紧张，孤独，无助，想逃。片子很纯粹很干净，它几乎再现了普通人会遇到的各种状况，是人性的真实反应。我们拍不了这样的片子，只能拍成主旋律家国情怀感动中国的献礼片。而我们只需要一点点真实的共鸣而已
跟拍、手持、特写、浅焦、变焦，视听技巧对情绪与氛围的营造简单却有效。
以普通人的视角切入这件全球性的灾难事件，故事很简单，但导演选取的事件及运用的视角都很不错，中段长达十多分钟的长镜头跟拍，压抑的中近景，不时的虚焦失焦，以及以不停的电话录音为主调的音效设计，增加了观众的在场感，跟着戏中人物的情绪而呼吸，朱迪科默的表演也撑起了这场戏，最终的崩溃也突显人类在疾病面前的无助，而最后面对镜头的质问同时也是对制度的控诉。7.8
Never is. Never is. It’s always someone else.
其实电影的主题很简单 就是帮助 无论是国家政府还是个人都对他人缺乏关心 在善意礼貌之下是冷漠 特别是这种疫情灾难面前更能显示出现今社会人与人之间的漠不关心 充满着冰冷的规则
比起外国人对宏大叙事的态度，中国人好像有个特点，就是一味回避真相，只记得住那些大的，澎湃的，虚假的，气球一样的东西，
因上海疫情而看
利物浦口音真滴上头啊hhh啾迪演技越来越好了！祝早日获得小金人！
