"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
不过不妨碍接着往下看律师追寻真相和伸张正义的过程
一村一世界，一朝一枯荣
控诉还是很有力的，审犯人的暴力也是全篇幅展现血腥
乌贼墨放置久了，浮墨会脱落，无法看见字迹，但是倘若将纸浸入大海，字体便会再次显现出来。
震撼、愤怒、敬畏，印度在很多人眼里依然落后贫穷充满犯罪，但这个国家敢于正面自己的缺陷，总好过一片歌舞升平，把肮脏龌龊埋葬隐藏。
能拍出这样的电影，说明印度还有救，这个国家将是中国未来三十年很可怕的对手。
警惕印共打黑警牌。太冗长，结尾真把律师当意见领袖了，欧美也不敢这么吹。
看了上海最近防疫的新闻，突然和这部电影的两位主角有了深深的共情。。。开始也许是昌大的愤怒，最后就是丁若铨的绝望。。。
很聪明地用黑白影像弥补了整体韵味的不足，不过制作还是太现代，尤其配乐好突兀，碎片化叙事也偶尔让人摸不着头脑，最惊讶的倒是第一次看见正面砍头的场面
明明是我们上下五千年的历史
为底层劳动人民发声，为敢于直面黑暗，揭露罪恶的人点赞！
魟鱼要走的路，只有魟鱼知道；鳐鱼要走的路，只有鳐鱼知道。
拉贾格努确定去世后那一场女人围坐哭唱的仪式，与《我不是女巫》里最后Shula的葬礼异曲同工，两个角色都是被偏见拴住而后宰杀的羔羊。只是这里的暴力更加直接了当，摄影机毫不隐晦地直面恶警暴殴他致死的画面，像观众眼睛被撑开在那无处躲，让种姓偏见造成的不公和血腥更加触目惊心。Jai Bhim没什么弧度，庭审破案都太神兵天降，神化到最后森格尼淋着雨跟他道谢，大众如信徒跟随膜拜英雄的那幕，形式已经盖过了情感。
章鱼的墨写出来的字会发亮，但随着时间慢慢褪色，听说放进海里会重新变黑：一半黑时犹有骨，十分红处便成灰
好一个丁若铨，有文人的浪漫，却也追求实际，不拘小格。没有固步自封，还要开眼认识世界。好一个李濬益，要追求一个没有王的世界，平等的世界，包容开放的世界。还要问那些思想是为了什么？国家的主人是谁？整部电影是那么平静淡然，又那么尖锐深刻。哪个时代，不需要问何去何从呢？
太喜欢这种黑白美学了。
丁若铨说服不了张昌大放下功名写鱼谱，就如同家居婶说服不了丁若铨接受安逸、不作为的流放生活一样。“子非鱼”是一个终极问题。
能饒有興趣的看下去說明拍的不錯。
与思悼相比要轻松许多，黑白画面颇有山水意境，不过对昌大故事的演绎总觉得有些多余。
