"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
气氛还行。揭示了黑帮作为一个组织和人的生活方式的对人的否定。反文明而缠绕终生的阴影。但反抗、推翻，然后从头再来。和解——沉浸在剪裁的工作中。

剧本非常小巧精致，在单一场景下靠一个核心道具磁带把故事出场人物串联完全，依靠大量对白把故事推进的引人入胜，叙事节奏掌握的非常好，内奸和作局者情节的反转也非常让人意外，但前面铺垫过程已经在不断暗示，足见编剧考虑的周到，男主演技更是加分，这个角色在面临生命危险下的沉着，镇定，睿智是电影里的点睛之笔。（8/10）
就在我以为是父女温情故事的时候，又翻了一下，可以加一颗星。

成熟的电影技术和电影技法也没能载动属于北野武本人的故事，很大程度上也许是共情引导的失败。网飞需要意识到一点，观众的眼泪并不廉价，刻意倒错的时间线明显是为了营造感人肺腑的情感共鸣和爆发时刻，但有的时候，目的性极强地卖弄叙事结构反而成了弄巧成拙，不选用平铺直叙大概也是因为主创知道一切烘托情绪的情节设置都太过老套而直白吧。网飞的市场性也许注定其大部分产出将止步于量产老练而模版化的工业品。整部影片无论形式还是内容都像最后一个漂亮的长镜头，乍看精巧，细品则是满溢着的空虚。
6.0；北野武师徒情，很真挚的感情。一大败笔是年轻的北野武也面部抽搐，这明明是他90年代车祸面瘫的后遗症啊。不过最后老年版北野武的化妆惊到我了，达到以假乱真的地步。
精巧的三一律剧本，马克·里朗斯稳稳压阵。几次反转蛮有意思的，也让戏剧张力在狭小的环境里发挥到了纯熟功效，结尾的那一段反派爬起来，以及马克叔点火，都有点煞风景，不过不妨碍整体的“一出好戏”。看下来之后惊觉，这应该是短片的体量撑成了长片吧。

北野武的火花，煽情的方式太没新意但还是为师父流泪了
再次印证网飞不擅长出品在地化电影。多一星给演员
不错的英式小品，还顺便致敬了希区柯克，结尾减一星
只有一个场景都可以把故事拍得这么精彩，事实证明好表演和扎实的剧本才是电影的关键。
小成本小格局叙事，马克·里朗斯老贼油泼面一样的演技也无法掩盖这个故事严重的不合理性（女主虽演了个工具人但真的好让人心动呀）
真心觉得很一般，正常人被告知枪里的子弹全部被取出来了的第一反应不该是直接扣动扳机试一试吗？
当他们通过表演，带给观众笑声与欢乐的时刻，是对他们执着精神的最佳褒赏，同时，那也是他们最闪光的时刻。
本来是想当做黑帮犯罪类型的饭片来看的。但这个“英国绅士式”絮叨+舞台剧，看着有点点闷。弗朗西斯这个角色塑造的差点意思。选角吧，感觉都差点意思，没演出剧本的张力。整体一般。
而真正的完美是不可能的。
