"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
life is too short for bad movies.. esp for full time working parent with 2 young kids without helper
没带什么期待去看的，还挺可爱的，作为圣诞rom com达标了，多给一颗星因为难得有有亚洲人主演这种类型片。这个看起来很没诚意的片名是电影里提到的两部圣诞电影Love Actually 和Die Hard合体。虽然主角其貌不扬找不到对象被诟病又是一个asian stereotype，但是我想说这片子里其实展现了三个不同类型的亚洲男性，还算是有点多样性。
很甜蜜耶 我喜欢！love actually真的不是我的type，还不如这个hh
cliche，唯一的新意就是男主了。居然开头都和the half of it一样。
片子两星，给亚裔男性打气一星，喜剧holiday题材一星。准备圣诞月看十部喜剧提提气
真的是电影，太狗血了。但中年妇女居然有点吃这套…
面部的衰老挡不牢身材依然可以保持曼妙，网飞可以多一点这个类型的电影～
看到一半基本就能猜到结尾，但依然会为了结尾鼓掌。虽然故事老套，且不太真实，但我就是喜欢这部电影能让我在这个冬天感受到一丝温暖。
Jimmy O Yang太没有男主相了…完全跟大美女Nina不搭…
我的online dating life…
还挺不错的，难得奈飞推荐一部好电影，结尾有点生硬，这是唯一的遗憾，其他都挺温馨挺好笑的，在同类电影中表现还可以
很合格的节日电影 两人好甜 ，feel good 电影feel good 就行了
奶奶的肩膀窄的，加上头大，看着就像是那种放车上的摇头小人😂
比我想象的好一点吧，我以为jimmy是wingman/闺蜜讲闺蜜情那种……讲道理他俩真的太没有cp感/火花了，这种电影本来就没什么深度，男主还长那样，总要有一点魅力点吧，做蜡烛…？？
无语 亚裔男主实在太难带入了 最惨的是那个被偷了照片的男的 自己啥也没做错被骗了 最后女主被老板提醒 貌似醒悟了觉得自己爱的是亚裔男 但但凡之前心里有爱 也不会一点都看不出来 就真的没有chemistry啊 但是男生喜欢做蜡烛 做出了跟爷爷味道一样的蜡烛这个情节还蛮喜欢的 结尾还借鉴了真爱至上 电影的情节
11月初就开始放圣诞片，着实有点早。前半段还挺有意思的，但是我没搞懂，明明一开始是男的用别人的照片欺骗女主，怎么到最后反而是女主用Love Actually的桥段去道歉？？以及，欧阳万成演技是不错的，很自然，但演这种浪漫爱情片真的有点违和。。
三十年河东三十年河西，jing yang都开始拍爱情片啦
意外觉得很甜。最近太抑郁了今天没去上班自己在家哭一下。
轻松可爱，反套路的地方好喜欢，特别是改歌词🤣
"A passion whose flame fails to be fanned eventually burns out. Don't be afraid to be you."
