If you loved The Tree of Wooden Clogs, try Il Posto
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 The Tree of Wooden Clogs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il Posto is
Bicycle Thieves meets 8 1/2. Domenico takes a messenger job in Milan. It delivers 1960s Italian neorealism.
