Olmi's sensitivity is on clear display from his debut, in the formation of his characters, in the subtly observed details of the relationship between the generations, and in his reflective approach to Italy's transition from a traditional society to an industrial one.

I blame only myself for discovering Olmi's simple yet delightful first two movies so late. Probably my favorite debut and follow-up from any director, ever.
