"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
有些电影的社会意义早已大于了影片本身。
“除了支持正义的言辞之外，法庭对不公正的沉默更为危险”
很工整的片，以至于想要更多反转，可惜没有。法庭和监狱穿插的节奏还是很带感的，只是作文命题太明显，新意欠缺，唯一印象深刻的可能就是自由的上街游行吧。
世界上任何地方都有黑暗，区别在于对待黑暗的态度。你以为藏着掖着别人就尊敬你？揭露了阴暗面别人就瞧不起？恐怕现实正好相反吧。敢于把顽疾和黑暗展示给世人，并指明是与非对与错，就这一点来讲印度就比中国强百倍和有希望。最后加上的一颗星完全是基于跟鸵鸟国对比的情绪化结果。
小人物，大历史。为推动社会进步而做出的一点点努力都应该被记录下来。
感觉是现实意义比较重大，作为一部电影和一个故事来看，影片的叙事节奏过于拖沓，充满了无关紧要的细枝末节，和这样高的评分应该有的影片质量比较不符合。
“除了支持正义的言辞之外，法庭对不公正的沉默更为危险”
要比《辩护人》要艰难许多~
印度版《辩护人》，剧情真实，但依旧非常不习惯歌舞。当然，不敢对比。
幸好最高法有良心，社会意义大于影片本身质量，但是人家敢拍能拍呀！
罗马不是一日建成的，希望人类世界越来越好。
精彩纷呈，无论是讽刺社会现状还是电影整体的视听语言，印度版熔炉，但比熔炉更加政治化
风格过于典型使得电影再好的题材都显得滑稽无趣
我们中国当年也有类似案件，印度能拍出来，我们不能拍出来，我们确实低人一等了
前半个小时嗤之以鼻就这？越到后面越膜拜，整片节奏太好，悬念依次拉开，最后的热血也不觉得假。好片。
唯一槽点是男主的“霸总”出场，他越过栅栏的一刹那，恍惚感觉下一秒会有个妹子出现
妻子一次次不畏强权，被部落首领威胁，警察威胁，更高地位的人威胁，数次以为她，一个失去丈夫，怀孕带着女儿的农村妇女即将对命运妥协，拿着协商的钱，过下半生时，她都选择挺起胸脯站起来，与其说是律师伸张正义，不如说是颠覆低种族人的一种反抗。
司法独立，警政腐败，选举政治和种姓制度，将这么多敏感话题融合在一部电影里，又能详略得当的都照顾到，印度电影水平真令人佩服。
为啥少一颗星呢，紧张程度还是少一些。全靠剧情支撑。印度黑暗，一点点再改变，希望我们也是。
唯一的败笔就是男主这个人设有些缺乏情绪的流露过于理性化。整体看着很压抑愤怒，然而人家毕竟敢拍能拍随便播……
