Overview:	"The Tree Of Wooden Clogs" is the best-known feature film from the highly regarded Italian director Ermmano Olmi. Set in Tuscany at the end of the nineteenth century, the film is a vignette-style depiction of several peasant families who all reside in the same farmhouse. Olmi brilliantly paints their struggle for survival through a series of small incidents: a wedding, the rescue of a sick animal,a nd even secret tomato-growing. Shot in an almost documentary style, and using a non-professional cast, Olmi lovingly captures the joys and sorrows and the spirituality of life in rural Italy at that time. Olmi wrote, directed, and shot "The Tree Of Wooden Clogs", which has proved a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and for which the director deservedly won the Palme D'Or for Best Picture at Cannes in 1978.
