Directed by Ermanno Olmi | 1978
With Luigi Ornaghi, Francesca Moriggi, Omar Brignoli
Italian cinema’s great humanist, Ermanno Olmi, won a much-deserved Palme d’Or at Cannes for this monumental vision of peasant life in 19th-century Lombardy. An almost documentary-like evocation of everyday struggle and endurance, The Tree of Wooden Clogs achieves a sublime transcendence thanks to its gorgeous, painterly visuals and profound empathy for the ordinary, extraordinary people it depicts.
