In Reply to: Not feeling depressed enough? Take these two from Italy posted by Victor Khomenko on April 10, 2006 at 06:26:16:
saw it at the Detroit Film Theater when it first came out (late '70s?). Very impressed, would like to see it again.How about another Italian film with a similar depressing/uplifting feel to it?--"The Tree of Clogs" (late '70s as well). The story of an impoverished family in a commune in rural Italy, and how the father gets in trouble by cutting down a poplar tree belonging to his patrone, in order to fashion a pair of clogs for one of his children. Anybody remember this one?
