Il posto + I fidanzati 02/04/25

Radiance Films
Blu-ray

Italian neo-realism and humanitarian sentiment meet in writer-director Ermanno Olmi, whose docudrama style wins over all that see it. In Il posto (The Job) a meek Milano goes through the humiliating process of applying for a career as a civil servant; in I fidanzati (The Betrothed) we witness the long-distance suffering of a young engineer relocated to Sicily for months, while his fianceé worries back home. The prolific, energetic Olmi has a knack for recording a living reality, reflected in Radiance’s excellent extras for this double-bill release. On Blu-ray from Radiance.
