Italian director Ermanno Olmi’s film is about a little boy who breaks the precious pair of clogs that he needs for his long trek to school. A late example of Italian neorealism, Olmi used local farmers and peasants rather than actors in this tale of social injustice. The recipient of the 1979 Palme d’Or, many consider Tree of Wooden Clogs to be Olmi’s most important film and one of the great classics of international cinema.
