"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
人生就是被各种约束限制，然后学会与其和解的过程吧。
C / 剧感很重，喜欢fantasy的构建和实用的床上对话语录，喜欢男演员，不喜欢后半段打探现实生活开始的交叉，强行打破幻想的双向救赎就像如果「罗尼和我」的后半段突然让直男表现出现实的软肋一样，瞬间没劲。
片名拗口扣一星，要我说就叫《善解人衣》吧。
8.5/10 男主Leo的眼睛太深邃了，盯著你看的時候很輕易地就陷進去，而且業務能力好強，完全不會給客人任何不舒適的感覺，而且還有可憐遭遇激發同情心，誰能拒絕這樣溫柔脆弱的性感尤物呢
#Sundance2022 Emma Thompson: can't believe this kind of film is only being made in 2022. It was very freeing to work on this film.
Equal nudity好评 难以置信这是哪一年还搞那套liberal fem
Whoa, whoa, whoa
open minded。相遇是为了治愈。外求有的时候也是机遇！
Whoa, whoa, whoa
有关自我愉悦接受和解, 欲更多的是desire 本身. Leo给我一种很强的non-binary vibe，相比于sexual attraction, 我更欣赏Leo的body beauty, 所以大量的对话让我觉得这是therapy session, 可能主创也是想借此表达Leo的专业性（话说回来我也想试试这样的therapy），所以会有一种太保守没什么惊喜的“不够劲儿”。唯一的惊喜点可能是雨声和身体摩挲的声音，3.5。
打着情色的标签，结果居然是一部温情的话痨片。所以究竟是身体上情欲的吸引更让人着迷，还是彼此挨着的耳边絮语和倾听更迷人？又或者是两者都密不可分？最棒的是最后Nancy和Leo都获得了解放。
老妇青鸭版《性爱照进现实》。记忆里劝妓女从良是中老男熟客办完事儿之后的爱好，这下性别反转了，只是老年人喜欢教育人罢了，不分男女，还是青鸭比较专业。
看完后激情推荐给好朋友，虽然我并没有达到解放的程度（看到最后几分钟，还要拉上窗帘，因为和隔壁男生宿舍的窗是相对的），但很开心看到这样的影片，世间还存在里奥这样神奇的男子，即使没有付出行动也能明白身体愉悦会给人带来的巨大改变。
以性意识觉醒来开启女性觉醒之路，如此切入视角的作品早就不计其数，并不新奇，也不震憾。但本片刻意设定一名高端、文明、知性、疗愈的男_性工作者来引领女主的觉醒之路，颇令人纳闷。第一，为什么男_性工作者的形象可以如此尊严、智慧、圣洁、高大？我好像没有看过类似的女_性工作者角色。第二，把男主的性工作纯粹美化为服务（老年）女性，谁信？这是有多自我感动、多么矫情？
「It's a very powerful thing. Sexual fulfilment. It made me feel invincible. I hadn't realised. I wish I'd know sooner, when I was younger. I'd have made the necessary changes. → At least you've done that now.」
7/10。“与你那时的面貌相比，我更爱你现在备受摧残的面容。”艾玛·汤普森太会演了，尤其最后全裸对镜中自己的那一笑。精巧的四幕剧，老年人性渴求的话题其实并不少见，可贵的是剧本的有趣和单一空间叙事方法。高质量的倾诉、跳舞和做爱，是可遇不可求的美事。男妓完美到像机器人，最后揭露这是部软科幻我也毫不吃惊。有第三幕的争吵就必有第四幕的和解，从戏剧手法来说很合理，但何必呢。有一位女性看完这部电影后爱自己能多一点，就是电影的意义。
很有伯格曼的感觉，空间局限在小房间里，看点在两人间的互动张力变化。Nancy太有趣了，前半段我一直在笑，以及没想到第一次居然是个从白天开始的case！看了大家的负面评价，看时完全没有想到那部分。我觉得影片的重点在“年老后渐成的女性主义新成员”，以及片子写男人的心理也写得挺好的。男主的劲儿有点儿陈伟霆。
他只负责输送技巧性的、职业性的驾轻就熟，但她无法接受以“消费者”身份进入一组性关系，或者说，她终究无法接受一组亲密关系仅仅是以性为基准的，她在自欺欺人地试着建立一些别的维度。
虽然过于理想化，过于干净和体面……但是内核，关于女性的自我探索不受年龄的限制，这一点很重要。
抛开现实讲，影片里展现出来的真的是高素质、高情商、暖暖的善意和真诚
