"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
毫无疑问，它值得一看，甚至二刷。因为除开壮阔的风景，动人的配乐，真切的故事，利落的剪辑之外，很想多看几遍弄清楚它到底表达了哪些。贫穷？生活方式？追求与平静？抑或是人类这种高智商社会性动物已经彻底与自然对立了吗？另外，它也让我们实实在在体会到真实是如何震撼人心：影后已经演得那么棒了，但在真实人物面前却依然缺了几分力量。
太有同感了。生命该是流动的，我却困住了。等待一个可以任由思绪松弛下来的时刻。需要一段时间什么都不做，准确地说还是要干点儿什么，就是思考。
Simply brilliant. Breathtaking.
献给那些不得不在路上的人们。
EP.6-10 《浅草篇》
想起Regina元旦深夜在ATM机取暖的流浪汉，以及问他u okay？的Nathan
大概可能有无字幕的原因，影片整体给我的感受与豆瓣剧情简介完全不同，我看到的更多的是一种自主选择，而不是被迫。明明可以放弃她的破车，但女主宁可求人也要守护她移动的家；明明好多人邀请她留下来，她毅然上路。在山林中奔跑，收集一个个好看的石头…生活孤独却热爱
影片最后的字幕：献给那些无法停下脚步的人，我们路上再见~
心无所属，永远是一个人的旅程。这一生，我们离别又遇见，在路上，却充满希望～
当然真正打动我的还是由始至终那股放不下的悲伤和执着，离开我们生活的那些人那些面孔，那些往事和回忆，都在远处群山中，在草原和荒野尽头，一定都还在，一定都还在。
能否把你比作夏日璀璨
拒绝港湾，回到最初梦碎的地方，然后再转身继续走下去。真正的公路片。
无依，可以是无以依靠，也可以是无需依靠，希望大家都能找到适合自己的依靠方式。
有趣的是，片中讲到那些创造了美国的伟大精神，先进沦为边缘，无依无靠，而这样一个故事的叙述者，来自外来移民。
对于成千上万个Fern来说, 生活是一种选择, 或许现实没有给他们选择的余地, 但他们却永远葆有去选择的勇气。
4.对新自由的欲望的追求
What's remembered lives.
我觉得，敢选择这样生活，而不是屈服于某种平静的平庸的生活的人，真的很勇敢。我曾见到过这样的人，他们，勇敢而坦荡，追求着美或者艺术，也许是爱情，和爱和浪漫和美相关，完全不同于我见到的那些，你争我抢的，人类。
See you down the road
这不是浪漫的公路之歌，而是献给不得不离开的人们。驱逐至边缘，流离失所的状态下，或许才能体会最大的迷惘与自由。
