"； Senior experimental filmmakers Danielle Huillet and Jean Marie Straub directed this unusual film based on Elio Vittorini's novel. "The Opera House" focuses on the success and failure of a group of workers and farm workers after the end of World War II. They concentrated their resources on running another collective farm, composed of 12 actors, who read Vitorini's book aloud during the movie, either reciting it or using a clearly visible script. "Opera i, Contadini" was hardly designed to please audiences, but its screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001 caused controversy among audiences, as part of the director's "Fortnight" series"~ Mark Deming, "The Whole Film Guide"; The organization constitutes a primitive community that seeks not only to eliminate the suffering caused by war, but also to eliminate the suffering of life and hunger, and to protect them from violence, suffering, and fear. In the aftermath of the war, characters establish and create a harmonious relationship between themselves, gender, generations, different social and geographical origins, and hostile political camps in their professional and daily lives. The organization maintains a "register", a kind of diary, as if it were a record of entering an investigation or trial" Steve Grayson"; My favorite Straub Whilett films are "Too Early, Too Late" and "Opera, Contadini" (2001), both of which have a particularly acute sense of the harsh beauty of place and nature" - Jonathan Rosenbaum
