Greenery Will Bloom Again
Ermanno Olmi
June 14 - 26, 2019
In this haunting historical meditation, Olmi features actual World War I footage to capture a single snowy night on the war’s Italian front, as soldiers burrowed in trenches find pockets of hope where they can.
At the age of 83, Olmi turned his attention to the First World War. But instead of making a combat film, he chose to capture a single snowy night on the Italian front, as soldiers burrowed in trenches confront their loneliness and find pockets of hope where they can. With measured pacing and sparse dialogue, hypnotizing in its patient alertness and reminiscent of Terrence Malick’s The Thin Red Line in its ethereality and focus on inner thoughts, this haunting meditation features actual World War I footage and is dedicated to the director’s father, who told Olmi tales of the war when he was a child.
