"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
爱情就是和你分享一支烟，再屏息一起吐出（。
我不能说我看懂了，我的理解是疯狂的人类，压榨、利用、贪婪、战争、恶欲。
不爱的都觉得它"疯"了。爱的都认为它"神"了
观影前半段真的恶心到我了，血肉横飞毁灭重生，在这里，看到什么都不要觉得奇怪，深层的含义不想去想，单纯的过过眼瘾感受脑洞。
杰尼斯真是德国90后的杰出代表啊，德国男色的标杆啊！这片从英德两国两个小翻译的视角解读了大战前夕，让我想起那部一战前夕的剧，以英德两国两个小机要秘书的视角反映的战前局势，最终他们改变不了历史的滚滚车轮，终将踏上战场，那部剧结尾，两个小机要秘书换上各自国家军装那一刻，泪崩😭 这一部结尾虽然没给这幕，但是想想都难受不行，英国小翻译肯定是要去皇家空军了…德国小翻译在祖国与信念之间抉择，更煎熬…
扭曲过后的世界或许就是这样血腥荒诞……疯神并不是神，而是异化了的人类自己
触目惊心的想象力实在令人叹服，跨度30年的绝大成本所形成的独特性也确实不能以一般的文本去要求本片了，某种程度上讲真是一部究极的电影，或许可以说它的存在就是来终结定格动画的？
真抽象，充满了各种宗教元素，话说国外真的喜欢化用圣经故事
We are living in hell, we are the devil
真踏马讨厌恐怖片导演当谜语人
预告挺惊艳，正片挺失望的，感觉导演没有在好好讲故事，想靠装逼猎奇来吸引观众但那特效和画面还不够装逼
7分。生与死轮回不止，生命更迭的圣经故事。相当阴间的定格动画。无对白，全靠配乐烘托氛围，多年制作，道具细节很强。我看不懂但我大受震撼。
全部的历史不过是一场腐败，它的气味飘向未来：于是我们向它奔去
顶着部分画面所带来的略微的生理不适，我还是看完了。对于剧情和画面，我只能分别说，我看不懂，但我大受震撼。也许剧情在本片压根不重要，画面才是导演想让你关注的所在。猎奇至极。据说是历时30年才完成的，可敬可敬，但也确实难以称之为好看。
4.5 屈服于美术！Diesel punk的极致！各种手法的拼贴让人想起Dave Mckean的插画 定格动画这个载体本身已经很能代表质量了 即使只是堆叠起来的片段 叙事什么的都不重要了——
别，别给绥靖洗地了。希特勒的诞生是因为一战分赃不均啊！解决一个问题的方法难道是再制造一个问题吗？问也不问就把捷克小弟给卖了，不夜大英衰落史。
肮脏诡谲的国度，重口程度更甚史云梅耶，像一场想象力溢出流脓的梦。
“教隔壁做人系列”/再長一點，再長一點就好了/多瑰麗啊~
真抽象，充满了各种宗教元素，话说国外真的喜欢化用圣经故事
妥妥儿的呈现什么叫用很厉害的技术挑粪（真的是字面意思）
