“The Tree of Wooden Clogs. Yeah, I watched this on Holiday with my wife. What an immersive film. One of these films, you really wonder how did he make it that you feel completely inside that… those families working for a landowner? I’m not surprised Mike Leigh does the introduction here. It has that kind of veritas to it, doesn’t it?”

“So, of course, I love, I love, I love L’Albero degli Zoccoli. That was here. The Tree of the Wooden Clogs. It’s a masterpiece. Three Ermanno Olmi with me.”
