"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
画外:91岁的东木老先生不仅为自己准备了一场马戏，还准备了两场吻戏。
整体剧情非常平淡，东木老爷子一把年纪了还亲自下场也挺不容易了，祝福老爷子长命百岁吧！
东木还想变年轻吧，只是已经给剧情推着走了…
看完之后莫名特别悲伤，这可能是老爷子的倒数第二部电影了
在平庸的故事里也只有老爷子可以讲出牛仔的浪漫，但是小男孩太拉垮了……
8.0/10，好像只是讲了一个很普通的故事，我却看的很入神。东木老师果然是讲故事的高手。
可以配音引进变成周六下午正大剧场系列，东木的鹿皮夹克，印第安灯芯绒夹克，大头裤带，小男孩的牛仔夹克，都很馋人啊。可以不看
90后伊斯特伍德依然有劲儿。我和我最后的倔强。抛开剧情，忘记《完美的世界》，一辆老爷车，一个老头，一个牛仔帽，一个孩子，一只鸡，继续上路，别带任何附属品。帮男孩回家的不是老头子而是那只公鸡。老头子老也老了还要谈恋爱泡墨西哥寡妇，男人致死是少年。
故事并没有特别好看，但整体依旧能让人感到舒心惬意，公鸡Macho为电影增色不少。三星。
老爷子的电影看着就是舒服，可惜男孩的演技太差了，严重拖后腿
90岁的时候还在自导自演西部牛仔公路片,咱就别挑剔太多了,什么剧情温吞、台词过多、冲突不够…当你看到老爷子佝偻着身躯试图跟上年轻演员的脚步和节奏时,你就明白这有多难了…至于给自己安排的女人缘我就当做小说原著就是这样的吧(虽然没看过)…Respect...
一直帅，希望这么优秀的电影人能长命百岁，不期而遇的美好！
拍的不好，演的也都不好，更像是Clint作了个简单的人生向往或回顾，但一想到这可能是他最后的作品又不禁伤感。若像安东尼奥尼最后一部长片《云上的日子》的巨作那该多好。
好简单安逸又温柔的东木，最喜欢墨西哥小镇那段时光。
东木老已，近几部都给人一种无力感，这部更是完全没有特点，过于老套，之前仅剩的硬汉感也消失殆尽了
老爷子九十多了还自导自演，祝您长命百岁。
优雅一生的的东木献上了一部温柔的童话故事。
行货吧，也不能说差，但就是没什么出彩的点，除了几段的摄影。
温情柔软，哪怕里面的冲突场面也看不到狠劲儿，这种已看不到什么野心的片子对东木来讲真的是当乐趣在做吧…年过九十的老爷子还能一年一次奉献出自己对电影的热爱，这会带来比电影本身更多的感动。
整体平淡无奇，老爷子90多岁还亲身上阵出演实在不易！
