"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
It is old-fashioned but surprisingly timely, and its clean, spare style feels classical because it’s fluent and clear-minded. Eastwood seems to be one of the few remaining filmmakers committed to conscientious storytelling.
什么叫美国精神？这就叫美国精神！
其实现在看东木的唯一意义就是看着他一点点老去
真的老了，但还是荒野篝火、帽檐下的深邃，这些元素没有变。前边的剧情拖沓又出戏，中后期拽回来一点，但止不住颓势。
东木一部比一部温润，甚至都懒得为主角设置外部的障碍。黑衣小哥os：我送车来了。
可能老人家到了那个年纪都希望世界还是要像童话一样美好就好了。
战战兢兢瞅着东木的一举一动，生怕他闪着腰。能导能演还能说什么？挥了一次拳，骑了马，在公鸡帮助下抢了一次枪。
尽管看到他的样子依然感到亲切。但是老爷子已经老到不适合再做演员了，整部电影像是一碗清淡的粥。
平平无奇，单纯有的只剩点情怀，西部片还是混碟市吧
东木老爷子依然创作力旺盛，可也想着休息咯～
关于“自身”重现的一切，反复演绎的永远听不腻的故事的重述
活化石拍电影，虽然是旧瓶装旧酒，但抛弃了过高的期待，总体还是在好看的一边。希望可以看到“惊！百岁老人自导自演”。
Chicken is macho(strong)
我在梦中曾身处一个沙漠酒吧，现在我竟真的在。但没想到的是，这个荒凉的沙漠小镇，让人重回旧时的牛仔时光，驯马，烹饪，帮村民治疗他们的小动物，和可爱的小女孩开心的比划手语，看着拉菲尔情窦初开，和相互喜欢的人共舞一曲。当那首Sabor a Mi想起的时候，我真的和那孩子想的一样，留在这个小镇，永远不要离开。
东木老爷就保持这个节奏！拍到一百多岁我就随时保持跟进！
东木爷爷这90多的身体看着可比78的拜登还好啊。可是要演一个60多岁的uncle太勉强了，还有艳遇😂老爷子保重啊
东木桑已经91岁高龄。而今识得愁滋味，却道天凉好个秋。全片只有和13岁少年的互相治愈互相救赎。
真的就像老人讲故事
一星是给这个年纪还奋斗在电影圈子的东木爷子
克里特伊斯特伍德确实是我爱戴的电影工作者，他出演的西部片，我几乎全部看过，且《不可饶恕》这样的不止一遍。而老头子又超级喜欢拍片，那种功力和视野绝对是天生我材，用的当当响。目前老头年逾九旬，多数同龄人早就化为灰烬躺在盒子里，而他居然每年一部电影，拍得带劲，冲这副精气神，对他的景仰已无法以滔滔不绝来表述，简直就是五体投地老天荒。唉，岁月不饶人哪，再强的种马也有精尽之时，试图和盛年一样揭竿而起怎么可能呢？看完《哭泣的男人》，我的悲怆袭上心头，伊斯特伍德确实老的不成名堂了，呜乎！
