Il Posto

1961, 1h 38min -

When young Domenico (Sandro Panseri) ventures from the small village of Meda to Milan in search of employment, he finds himself on the bottom rung of the bureaucratic ladder in a huge, faceless company. The prospects are daunting, but Domenico finds reason for hope in the fetching Antonietta (Loredana Detto). A tender coming-of-age story and a sharp observation of dehumanizing corporate enterprise, Ermanno Olmi’s IL POSTO (“The Job,” a.k.a. THE SOUND OF TRUMPETS) is a touching and hilarious tale of one young man’s stumbling entrance into the perils of modern adulthood. Show more
