The height and depths of bittersweet. Olmi is a romantic, a poet, but he is also a realist. What I love about his work is that he is not an escapist instead he zooms headlong into daily life but with his particular light and grace that makes one see so much poetry within the mundane. The simplicity peels away the excess to bring out such moving real purity. I Fidanzati works as a balm for those left unrequited.

It has that massive heart with witch Dino Buzzati can cure the soul of a boy.

This film is a honest perspective of the unavoidable coming-of-age, with a laboral context within.

I Fidanzati is better, but still, this is a great, great film. Loredana Detto is also one of the most beautiful ever.

The entry of a young man into the system and in the people around him his future selves are presented. It's about rigid, defined life and a sense of moving forward inexorably without any awareness of where one is going. The film depicts nothing so much as banality but curiously has what seems to be a strong atmosphere of mysticism and hauntedness. These people are ghosts, even at their best moments. Masterpiece.

A masterpiece that captures and translates emotions in a vivid and compelling way. It made me feel the uneasyness, the echoes of shoes walking through large and empty corridors, eyes staring at you, unfriendly attitudes, unbearable monotony, complete hollowness of life or goals, very brief joy... now I'm really scared...

Very human film, I think anyone who has worked a regular job can relate to the mood and feeling of this film. Yes, it is kind of a scary film in a way.

The repetitive and mundane life working in corporations, the indifference of others in the workplace, only brief moments of humanity and happiness, and undeveloped romances. The soon-to-be story of my life, and just the thought of it scares me.

Like the TV show The Wire, this film's ability to show realistic events have them progress like real life rather than using devices that we're so used to in films ironically makes this film feel like it transcends reality. Very simple and unpretentious, it's really quite wonderful.
