黛海丝是个爱好文学艺术并希望得到别人肯定和关怀的女郎，医生她有稳定安逸的生活环境，医生别人都羡慕不已，但却没人了解她内心的孤独。结果她因为得不到关心而企图毒死丈夫，被控谋杀后却得到人们的同情。丈夫不愿家丑外扬，连同她的父亲恩威并施，终于让她无罪释放，但她却一路回想起自己的生活：结婚的盟约、婚后生活的无聊、父亲的私欲、丈夫的不解风情、倾慕的男孩远走高飞等情节后感到了无生趣。从此丈夫把她当作疯子，她则以烟酒浇愁，越发寂寞痛苦。影片取材自法国著名作家、诺贝尔奖得主莫里亚克的文学名著，并由他亲自编剧，《广岛之恋》女主角希娃担纲主演，赢得威尼斯影展的最佳女主角。影片忠实还原了莫里亚克原著的精髓，那种透入心骨的寂寞和痛苦强烈地渗入观众的心灵，文学意味很重，偏重描写人物的内心感受和思想活动，夹杂有倒叙和回忆的表现手法，有当时法国电影左岸派崇尚的意识流痕迹。

回复 :"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
