The
Job (Il posto)
dir.
Ermanno Olmi, Italy, 1961, 93 mins, b/w, Italian w/ English
subtitles
 When
young Domenico 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 are daunting, but Domenico finds reason for hope in
the fetching Antonietta. 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.

Dillinger
is Dead (Dillinger e’ morto) – Philadelphia Premiere
dir.
Marco Ferreri, Italy, 1969, 35mm, 90 mins, color, Italian w/
English subtitles
 After
a hard day’s work designing this year’s gas masks, industrial
engineer Glauco (Michel Piccoli) comes home to a cold dinner,
a sleeping wife and an aloof maid. The answer to his petit-bourgeois
boredom? Prepare
a gourmet meal, putter about, and reconstruct an antique revolver
that may or may not have been owned by John Dillinger. A mind-blowing,
multi-layered, and psychedelicized celebration of anarchy in
life and cinema, Marco Ferreri’s unjustly neglected masterpiece
is a cult classic awaiting its cult, anchored by a stunning
lead performance and an amazing pop soundtrack.
