"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
1.13补标
最后就是，作为一部关于情景喜剧的传记片，只有俩演员的口音是笑点，未免太失败了点。
摄影机从影棚拉起，戏中人和戏外人赌注压反、纠缠继续。Aaron Sorkin的叙述技术从戏外打了一组映射，让观看也成了一种扮演。Nicole Kidman和所有演员给出的尬又不尬的年度最佳群戏。
just a call girl
比导演的上一部《芝加哥七君子》更能让人看下去，喜欢其中对情景喜剧幕后的生动描绘。7
核心是讲述那个年代女性（哪怕是个火热的明星）要面临的职场不公境遇，整个剧本的节奏太流水账了，可惜了妮可的表演。歌舞状态下的Bardem很有魅力。
Nicole Kidman 的脸到底是怎么了？一度以为她为了接近原型而化了特效妆
一百分钟的电影。。。不亚于 我听了一百分钟 指甲滑黑板的声音
内容确实有些过满，但剥洋葱式的繁复结构意外地凑效。
What a fantastic film to watch after you just fucked up your probability midterm, and Oscar sounding like the hot Slovak math prof just made it even better :) Oscar’s super hot though, which makes me wonder how can someone who used to torture for a living and then suffered 8-year prison sentence be so well mannered? Plus, nothing else makes sense.
生动的诠释了光有一个好剧本而没有好导演的弊端，艾伦·索金还是老老实实的做你的金牌编剧吧，可以说80％都是聒躁且无聊。结尾很好。但挽救不回全片的死气沉沉，妮可的忘词是独属她的影后时刻，不过还是之前的问题，角色都没立起来，二封就更扯了，金球给她是口味独特还是这届实在不能打也不清楚。
索金的剧本一如既往的赞，他的导演水平一如既往的平庸。妮可基德曼倒是相当给力了。
好brilliant的演员和编剧 好做作的表演和剧本....索老师你写这个不觉得无趣吗什么时候回来写tv
虽然不愿意承认，但是这一次艾伦·索金确实翻车了。电影逃脱出索金一贯直白的政治表达，试图去刻画出一个鲜活的女性形象，最终的结果却是迷失在冗长对话中的无数个小幽默里（好吧，有时候这些小幽默确实很聪明）。说到底索金还是不会写人物。他相信人只是表达的工具，其作用无非是阐述自己的观点。而让人物真正活起来的方式绝不是长篇大论的喋喋不休，也不是杂耍般的叙事结构。这的确还是典型的索金式电影，只是彻底暴露出他所有的软肋。
带着了解旧好莱坞演员露西尔.鲍尔为人的低期待来看至少是符合预期的，人物性格和形象抓实了，除此之外就是唇枪舌战式的一锅乱炖了。
3.5。索金的编剧技巧实在是炉火纯青，叙事时空结构、主题表意层次、人物塑造真相统统是多维度交织的。最高维度上，影片书写了电影史中的一个章节，书写了好莱坞制片厂体系由于战后政治动荡和电视等新生活娱乐方式兴起而衰落的时期；另一端则深入内心世界，探究爱情的真谛。中间所夹的，是一出喜剧，同时也是一出喜剧的诞生过程，妮可基德曼在这出喜剧中是演员，同时也是编剧、是导演。而当我们拨开喜剧那愤世嫉俗的讥诮面纱时，看到的是一个饱受挫折的理想主义者，这便是索金企图告诉我们的喜剧的真谛。两位主演的表演、剧本的构思概念都无可挑剔，败在谋篇布局的细节和整体的调度——编剧索金是天才，导演索金很平庸。
还不错的节奏，艾伦索金的剧本功力以及妮可基德曼和男主的演技支撑起了2个多小时的家庭故事。虽然很多国外Lucille ball 的粉丝吐槽人物的刻画并不准确，但这并不影响我对这部电影的观感，影片里的Lucille Ball 坚定，勇敢，执着，戏里戏外气场强大无比，本片也可以作为一部女性主义的片子欣赏，妮可基德曼则有机会获取本届奥斯卡最佳女主！
我喜欢这部电影。
Nicole Kidman的表演真的太完美了。
