Saw Ermanno Olmi’s #IlPosto. I think this is a perfect film, simultaneously subtle and simple, w’out guile & surpassing wise …
… I most warmly, even urgently recommend it!
#IlPosto is a real milestone in Italian film history. Neo-realist technique & sensibility, but now applied …
… to the economic recovery. Rich ambiguities result. Poverty kills, but a good job can be a mixed blessing!
#IlPosto features a glancing, indelible little romance. It lasts about as long as a lunch hour, but not unlike the girl …
… that Mr. Bernstein saw on that ferry in Citizen Kane, it is such a beautiful & transformative vision as to be utterly unforgettable.
