SIMPLY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

It is not too often that you meet the film that really grabs you and leaves you in awe with its incredible mastery and poignancy.

Il Posto, the 1961 Italian film by Ermanno Olmi is one such event. I simply can't fine enough words to convery its beauty and its uncommon touch of humanity.

This is simply one of the best films that I have seen in the last year... and that's got to tell you something.

I am not going to tell the story, as it is simple and seemingly insignificant, but its simple beauty is overwhelming.

The way the director treats the subject and leads his young actors through the labirinth of chamber-like scenes is mesmerizing and is bound to become on of those unforgettable events in your life.

It seems that it is destined to take the spot next to the likes of L'Atalante, Forbidden Games and Nights of Cabiria.

Wonderful... simply wonderful!

Available from Netflix, as is another work by that director - The Tree with the Wooden Clogs... ordered, of course!
