"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
即便是被当众切开，痛觉也无法与观看者同场共鸣，仍然是限定于施刀者和受刀者之间极为私密的肉体交合及精神共振，“surgery is the new sex”由此成立。只是柯南伯格从早年对于形体本身“内”与“外”之美的极致追求到如今选择以身体为噱头服务表演艺术的转变属实放弃了他标志性的险棋，比起新器官的诞生，更想看他拿痛觉紊乱大做文章，以及探讨在死亡后主观意识上痛觉消失所带来的局限和新的可能性。
当疼痛被精密手术量化展示时，语言也只能如梦中呓语般赘述情感。以为是卡夫卡式的饥饿艺术家展开，却发展的越来越迷离，落在了救赎上。
当内在不再适应外部的改变时，革命是由身体内部开始的，这时几类人开始分野，主动谋求改变的（手术更改消化系统）；尚未自我觉醒的进化被动选择者（器官变异者）；旁观者（拍摄记者们）；将政治理解为行为艺术的狂热追随者们（可笑的耳朵）；把变革打上tattoo的政府中立监视者们；激进的暴力保守主义者。忒修斯之船行驶于文明和艺术的荒漠之中，定义粉碎并重建于痛苦带来的高潮与古老性爱的对撞之间。自我解剖是发现自我最赤裸裸的手段。
about the domination of the body, the functional not the decorative way of evolution , the choice of rebellion or acceptance...
有啥？
#75e戛纳#第一场长片。一个完整的充满可解读性的世界观，然后没展开？
比较失望，总感觉结尾太无力了。那位父亲就这么死在阴谋之下了，难道这一切都毫无意义吗？
片中的几个装置可以找一个当代艺术中心直接搬进去了。总感觉今天会在梦里再见到Léa和Viggo躺在the Sark里，招我进入身体之中……
脑门上四颗腰果真是太disturbing了
剧终时，我没有感到恶心，只是感到一些哀伤。我完全是为了陪刚放假的M君去看的。也许是事先做了强大的心理建设，观影时没有感觉特别难以接受——开场六七个人，散场时除了我俩还剩一位女士。虽然囿于英语水平，台词部分不是很清楚，不过我是将之视为柯南伯格的一种直给的宣言和寓言来看的，在所谓科幻和人类新进化前提设定下。Naked & Nostalgic.
there is no art in disemboweling people in this movie. the way they take out internal organs is disgusting. you don’t have to literally cut people open to look deep into people.
为什么Viggo这么喜欢蹲着，全程气泡音，有点担心他的喉咙，喝点gollum juice
展与环境影响的辩证法，表明人并不是独立生
变态的人类忘了交合，直接躺在癞蛤蟆控制的手术台上XX。
看预告时候最先被片子的美学风格吸引，其次才是璀璨的演员阵容。最先把我搞不适的是片子的美学风格，其次才是演员表演，其实主要是小k，她已经连续接了两个角色，都演成了神经质，话都不能正常说。
非常前卫，非常先锋，非常重口味，非常无厘头。如果预算再加几倍，也许就成了。
虽然我看得意兴阑珊，但是很感叹，柯南伯格都快80岁了，还依然保持着炙热的少年感。放弃掉思考那些形而上的东西，柯南伯格一直痴迷的只是十五六岁男孩的好奇感，关于异性，关于生命，关于身体，关于暴力，而且他的讲述方式也挺男孩子气的。
？？？等级不够，看得我好难受，并且很排斥…
挺福柯/德勒兹的，高级sm就是绞刑架下的高潮
整部电影唯一让我沉迷的只有蕾老师的美好肉体，it's confirmed that I'm old sex.（㊗️蕾老师生日快乐～）
