If you loved Il posto, try L'albero degli zoccoli
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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 L'albero degli zoccoli 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.
