Il Posto
d. Ermanno Olmi, 1961
Both sad and funny at once, Ermanno Olmi's Il Posto is a wonderfully imaginative coming-of-age story. It follows a teenager, Dominico, as he travels to Milan from his town in order to find a job. He doesn't seem too thrilled about the prospect, but becomes interested when he meets a girl, Antonietta. There are a lot of lovely scenes in the film, mostly the ones that involve the encounters between Dominico and Antonietta. Overall, Il Posto is a great movie about growing up.
