If you loved Il Posto, try Der Holzschuhbaum
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ermanno Olmi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Il Posto, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Der Holzschuhbaum is
A peasant family in 1900s Lombardy faces subsistence farming while debating whether to educate their son. A broken wooden clog becomes the crisis that tests every fragile decision. The film’s quiet endurance comes from its cast of non-actors and Olmi’s unflinching gaze at rural poverty.
