　　"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

　　The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
　　The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
　　the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
　　Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.

But when his Arab friend Zoubir invites the Europeans on a hunting party, Diane and Manuel see their chance to move against their cousin.

　　新浪潮老将里维特的雄心大作，分战争篇和监狱篇上下两部。本片以德莱叶和布列松为目标，渴望,期望,盼望,企望成就新的经典。 传奇历史事件「圣女贞德」出现,产生,形成,酿成时，以文字记述事件流传出去的方式尚未普及，因此事件停留,驻留,滞留,逗留来的属于史实的原始记录非常的少。但是圣女贞德的故事，却不断出现在文学作品、舞台剧、歌剧（神剧）与各种电影版本中，这背后一定是有它的原因的。
　　该片叙述,阐述,陈述,描写圣女贞德从被俘，到被审判，直至最后被处死的过程。在1430年5月23日的一场小规模战斗中，贞德被俘虏了。当她下令军队撤退回贡比涅城时，她处在军队的最后方以确保所有人都退回了城里，但就在这时贡比涅城因为害怕英军跟着闯入，没等到所有部队撤回便将城门关下，贞德与剩余的后卫部队便遭到了勃艮第人俘虏。最后法庭总结了贞德的12项罪行指控，但这些指控都和在审判中的纪录相互矛盾。在各种方式逼迫之下，不识字的贞德没有意识到死刑的逼近，签下了一份她完全看不懂的公开弃绝书。贞德还有另外一个罪名：像男人一样穿衣服。这在1431年可是一项大罪。贞德在战场上穿的是甲胄，但是在军营里却穿的男装，据记载，她穿的是一种很短的灰色的束腰外衣，套在朱红布料做的、织的很密的长筒袜子上面。那个时候还没有橡皮筋，男子的长统袜的顶端都开有成对的扣眼，中间用绳子串起来系紧。一般人用七种以上的花色来系这种袜子，而贞德用了20种，而且还系得很紧。主要是为了庇护,维护,呵护,护卫自己“奥尔良少女”的身份。在监狱里，贞德宣称，没有紧身的袜子，她感到很不安全，她要和教廷抗争到底，准备接受自己的命运。后来，她被套上一身长袍。行刑时，她没有遗言，只是向敌人发出了嘲笑。死刑于1431年5月30日在鲁昂进行，目击者描述了死刑的那一幕。贞德被绑在火刑柱上，她不断的祈祷著，并向旁边的神父请求让她握著一个小十字架。
