El árbol de los zuecos [Criterion Edition]

Ganadora de la Palma de Oro 1978.

Sinopsis: Relato en tono semidocumental sobre la vida durante el cambio de siglo (XIX-XX) de los campesinos bergamascos (Lombardía), que llevan una vida dura y sacrificada, pero llena de gran dignidad. La ambientación es solemne y serena como la música de Bach que le sirve de fondo.
