I saw it a couple of times quite a few years ago.Perhaps not a great film but a worthwhile one. I think it was out around the time of "El Norte", a Spanish film and perhaps a better film.
I love Italian cinema and the poignancy and emotions they strive for. What the Italians can do has been evident to me from the first time I saw an Italian film.
Perhaps the descriptors you use, "humanism that elevates the whole experience", and "primitive" or primal, give some insight to it.
What the Italians can do can be seen in a film like "Flight of the Innocent". An action film, and done very well as an action film, yet full of great emotion.
