"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
那这种剧本和设定不动脑袋拍电影，这可能才是真的傲慢和偏见。
A weird and cheap mix of gay (and maybe a bit Asian) stereotypes with (the outdated bits of) Jane Austin.

好看耶，在同志片日渐无聊的情况下，能叙事成这样已经很惊喜了。亚裔被贴的标签fine。就想想一下同志圈吧，想起昨天有人在小蓝上问我找什么？我说没有特意找什么？然后果然后面就想约炮。因为太多人已经不知道怎么去认识人，去相处，去享受生活，只有约炮是能让他们产生实质性下一步动作的需求。所以这部电影看了很感慨，norah不是害怕亲密关系，只是他害怕受伤，不知道怎么面对受伤后的下一步，于是拒绝新的恋情，好多人到后面都是这个状态了，但我觉得享受当下还是最重要吧！！！
我们很多时候以为自己看透了一切，迫不及待地标签所见，并试图用自己的方法去影响身边的朋友…但需要救赎和指引的，难道不是我们自己么？
话说真的有这样的岛吗？
但Will和Noah不搭啊
全程都在姐妹磨逼，男主又丑又浪还阴阳，Will成了追剧的唯一动力
我觉得挺舒服的～除了主角的颜不是我的菜之外，整体剧情走向以及姐妹情深+主角套路版的获得恋爱都深得我心～啊，我爱夏天
同样改编自《傲慢与偏见》，比《秋天之前》好一些。屌丝gay与精英gay在火烧岛的相遇，很吵很抓马，很多熟面孔，很多肉体，主角还是难得的亚裔，但是看完后感觉是不痛不痒的快餐电影，有点点失望和无聊。Bowen的角色有点过于nerd了，Conrad身材比《逍遥法外》里壮了很多，Zane颜肉俱佳本片亮点！
这确实是真实现实接地气的“同性爱情（这四个字可以随意排列组合）”故事，不管是在美国还是东亚。有时候真的觉得那些被封为经典的同性片中的同性形象只是迎合部分女观众，现实中很多同也许就是本片中的样子，有欢乐有烦恼有性有爱但愁苦相对来说少一点。
不会有姐妹看完这个剧真的以为自己会找到白马王子吧
多一星给asian representation
请拍一部《我的天才基友》
北极聊照片，聊多了有了爱情幻觉，因为没有原因的就是不想留张纸条，成就了一段英雄故事。
夭寿啦oliver passed the bar变律师啦
老式又浪漫，谁不想要一群可以在海边倒数看夕阳的朋友，还有一个在桥上依偎跳舞的人。
safe card playing feel good movie~
虽然故事老套。但还是温馨好看的爆米花电影，事实证明，要么脸好看（Howie），要么身材好(Noah)，你就会很耀眼。另外，有帮这样的死党真好。
2.5。故事本身实在是套路陈旧。意义在于性别或许不是电影的障碍了
