Emerging onto the Italian art film scene just as the last canonical neo-realist movies were released in the late 1950s and early 1960s, several of Olmi''s films, including \u003ci\u003eIl Posto\u003c\/i\u003e (1961), \u003ci\u003eThe Tree of Wooden Clogs\u003c\/i\u003e (1978) and \u003ci\u003eThe Legend of the Holy Drinker\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), won top prizes at Cannes and Venice. However, the majority of his work has remained  unappreciated. This, the 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Brief Biography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. In the Beginning, There Was … Edisonvolta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. Time Standing Still and Moving Freely: Olmi's Boom Trilogy and the Evolution of His ­Time-Shifting Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. Disillusionment with Success During gli anni di piombo in Olmi's ­Post-Boom Trilogy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. Revisiting the Past to Contemplate Our Freedom in the Present: Olmi's History Films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5. Exemplary Realities: Olmi's Fables and Parables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6. Christ and Religion According to an Aspiring Christian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040402669911,"sku":"9781476665894","price":30.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476665894.jpg?v=1750946635","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-ermanno-olmi-9781476665894","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
