"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
Wow，多么大胆、真诚而又温暖的电影！
单一地点+老戏骨的组合很难不让人想到《困在时间里的父亲》，后者在影片技法上还是要更有层次一些，而这部电影的强势就在于每个段落高潮前的那一点铺垫，都恰到好处。
也许社会需要专业和敬业的服务，比如63岁的艾婶就无比敬业

性愉悦应该列入社会保障体系！hearhear
不新鲜，但也挺好看。能帮助别人找回自信自爱的不是职业，是做得好的那些人（哪怕是话术营造的幻觉，有真心投入也确实会不一样）。同意热评，这样可口的鸭可以多来几打hh
看看人家，再看看咱们这，传出来的都是富婆快乐球，金箍棒，火焰山... ... 素质，素质！
心动了，才会有高潮。
主要就一个景，剧本其实还是遵循了经典规律，所以在剧本和表演扎实的基础上，主要还是男主太性感，真是无敌的选角
没想到这部具有十足深度的性话题电影居然是保守的英国佬拍出来的，想起了那句“与自己和解”。的确，当艾玛婶在镜前与镜中的自己坦诚相对，抚摸着自己臃肿褶皱的肚皮却淡然一笑时，我似乎明白了这部片子最想表达的东西。By the way，艾玛婶演技着实一绝，晚年能如此为艺术献身不得不让人佩服，反观内娱某些女演员露个背or替身就要炒作半天声称“为艺术献身”，拜托了请要点脸。
也许我们只要做到爱自己，享受性爱，享受愉悦，其他的都不那么重要了吧。
在最私密的空间和互动事件中，他唤起了她的性觉醒，而她也引导他放下了对家人的“戒备”，四次会面带来的改变足以修正人生偏差，镜头里她的眼神中有光，尽管身体的衰老无法逆转，但灵魂的魅力与活力有希望长存。P.S:想起了之前和朋友谈论X工作与社会发展的关系，看完此篇后更坚定自己的想法。
有些理想化了其实，清新得如同一场fantasy。（莫名发现自己好像更容易代入Leo这个角色及其职业，even as a woman）（Emma Thompson演得真是太好了）
如果说Daryl的肉体惊艳了我，那Emma的演技则让我佩服到五体投地...how could she be so perfectly beautiful, vulnerable and satisfied at the same time...Emma身体上的每一条皱纹都让我看到了岁月能带给人的智慧和美好
男妓前半段的穿搭真不错。他的眼睛就像cg做出来的一样美。
有些让人唏嘘的是女人买鸭都要做五十分钟顾左右而言他的心理建设，而男人可能五分钟就能提裤走人。第一次看到拍的如此干净纯粹的关于性的故事，虽然中间小鸭讲自己与母亲关系时有些老套，但它的确跳出了传统嫖客与妓之间被定义的关系，发展出了一种与肉体有关的友情。
这真的很可爱啊，虽然绝对会有很多争议，不过也正是因为还不错到需要寄予厚望。有些问题被提出已经值得夸奖了，哪怕2022了
“你为什么不把你想要的东西拿走？
议题老生常谈，没啥惊喜。女主负责演技，男主负责卖肉。前面三次见面铺垫对立，最后一次见面和解。性工作者的身份得以释然，女性的高潮终究依靠自己。年老的女性角色、老去的躯体，谁说不能散发光芒？！
