Description

Ermanno Olmi is one of cinema's great, unsung filmmakers. With no formal filmmaking education, he drew upon his documentary roots to emerge onto the Italian art film scene, just as the last canonical neo-realist movies were released in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Though his films--including Il Posto (1961), The Tree of Wooden Clogs (1978) and The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988) won top prizes at Cannes and Venice, the majority of his work has remained unappreciated in academic and cinephile circles, especially outside of Italy. This first English language book on Olmi explores the director's style and evolving environmentalism, from his early, institutional short films, made while working at an Italian energy company, to his 19 feature films.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
