"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
相当于TVB律政剧的水准，最后开BUG把罪犯绳之以法，看着很爽，实际上毫无章法。
中规中矩的剧情，还好有几个香港老演员撑场，整体感觉还可以。追求和捍卫正义公理需要的不仅仅是信念和智慧，还要有金钱和权力的支持。贴近现实，引人深思。
2021年了，我看到一部20年代的TVB。
挺一般的 香港电影确实不行了20211103
拍的还行，但怎么说呢，我的理解就是，想要在这滔天权势下存活，还是得有钱才行，没钱还是申冤无门啊，所以整个故事还是有问题
香港老戏骨的尽力之作。
良心大律师为了对付凶狠的政治反派不得不用一些非常规的小花招才能在法庭上取胜。
有权的人的儿子杀了有钱的人的女儿，让穷人家的儿子去背锅。（人穷不老实也泡夜店），律师不屈服权贵剑走偏锋做了一份假的证据，让有权的和有钱的双方私下自相残杀解决。最终帮穷人打赢官司。这是什么狗血淋头的剧情啊。
剧情平淡，不知道这部电影想表达什么，正义还是需要钱才能伸张？
故事老套，演技浮夸，节奏稀烂，毫无悬念，甚至内涵都没有。什么名导名编老演员已经救不了香港电影，就像光靠ps美颜已经撑不起剧里那几张松弛的脸。
电影描述的是理想的世界，不是现实的世界。另外全靠戏骨们撑起的剧，年轻的演员们不行啊。
剧情太弱，太弱了，一点点打戏和床戏也特别生硬，几个不知名的演员感觉也没有入戏……总之，很难想象是最近几年的电影，哪怕是2018年的电影，也显得那么差……
算系了解咗我一個情意結，由選戰到律政強人，一直認為未完結一直自認為會有續，只是換一個平台或者故仔，可惜尼部電影系終結了，太可惜了 #2021#智叔 R.I.P 終於上映，算喇，系時代問題，respect 智叔&方中信
这个官司太简单了……可以压缩到90分钟的……
在此哀悼廖启智先生。
开头十分钟就一股上世纪三流港片的味道，弃了
低分原因估计是因为还是要靠富豪弄倒富豪，我感觉还可以这片。牵强的地方稍微多了点哈。
"人死了是没有什么东西可以带走的，这里什么都不重要"，因为是廖启智的遗作之一，当他在片中喊出这句话时，总有某种不一样的意义在里面
有点牵强的剧情设定，最后方中信的话算是升华了主题，只要相信光明，就一定会被照亮！
好平淡如水的香港律政片。。。唯一要说的是，如果凶手杀的不是富商的女儿，这个案子是不是就真的成了冤案了，有钱就真的可以为所欲为呗？
