If you loved Der Holzschuhbaum, try Il Posto
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 Der Holzschuhbaum, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il Posto is
