11/19: il posto



Sorry for the late post. After struggling to pick between two movies, I finally decided to pick "Il Posto" instead of "The Devil and Daniel Johnston". Here's a description for the movie from amazon:

When young, fragile 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 may be daunting, but Domenico finds reason for hope in the fetching new worker Antonietta (Loredana Detto). A tender coming-of-age story and a sharp observation of dehumanizing corporate enterprise, Ermanno Olmi's Il Posto is a touching and hilarious tale of one young man's stumbling entrance into the perils of modern adulthood.

I picked this movie because I've seen the director's the other movie "I Fidanzati" (The Fiance). I really like his lyrical and delicate style.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston is actually a really good movie, I may still pick it in the future. And I found out Daniel Johnston went to Abilene Christian University briefly, too (as I did).
