"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
优秀的西部片太少了！节奏虽缓慢，导演见功底。情节虽简单，反转够给力。演技过硬，剧本扎实！
有时候他也嘟囔嫌钱不够使
故事虽然老套，还是值得一看。
看这种作品也是体会中美文化差异的一种体验。
难得当下可以看到这么正统得西部片！没有话痨，没有黑人，画面充满质感。
西部片还是很耐看的，在隐忍中爆发，电光火石之间局势逆转
坏人总是死于话多,还以为话痨匪徒头子有多大能耐玩猫捉老鼠游戏呢,n次浪费大好优势局面,结果第一枪就被干倒了,装逼失败啊,照例给西部题材加一星
看了“比利小子”的历史后顿觉本片又精彩了几分，特别是老演员和真实的“比利小子”的脸型非常相似，但是又是一张非常丧的老农民的脸，这使他最后决战时的英姿显得尤为帅气。舞剑之人必死于剑下，在江湖上混早晚都是要还的，片中的那对渊源在我看来实在是一个十分浪漫的宿命安排。
故事很简单，结尾还来了一次反转，挺有意思的。老年比利小子重出江湖，老当益壮啊。
21/11/5：想不到西部片能有一丝回光返照
當今為數不多的西部片成長的故事 後傳奇時代 「這個世界變了 你可以看看」
有点模样 差点意思 不过嘛 西部片总要加点分
别被评分骗了，基本就是个沉闷的文艺片，节奏缓慢拖沓，剧情故作玄虚，只有结尾十几个人围着屋子枪战，经典主角光环，反派死于话多，十几个人近距离愣是打不中主角，被主角一一收拾。另外感觉主角这儿子肯定隔壁老王生的，无论外形性格都完全不对路子。
一个半小时可以拍的比较紧凑合理已经不错了 没有浪费时间的一部片子
西部片里的精悍作品，西部风光、牛仔、骏马还有枪战，该有的都有了，算不上经典，但也值得一看
中规中矩。儿子长得也太不像老子了。男主很适合演老比利小子。
论一部剧情简单的西部剧为何拍的这么有嚼劲，归根结底角色人物塑造成功对于一部电影是多么重要！国内就是差这个
铺垫草率不可怕，可怕的是还给你来个自以为是热血结尾你受得了吗？
nobody 是 somebody 的西部版本
少年去流浪，老爹先埋葬。血在你身趟，世界不一样。
