Emerging onto the Italian art film scene just as the last canonical neo-realist movies were released in the late 1950s and early 1960s, several of Olmi's films, including \u003ci\u003eIl Posto\u003c\/i\u003e (1961), \u003ci\u003eThe Tree of Wooden Clogs\u003c\/i\u003e (1978) and \u003ci\u003eThe Legend of the Holy Drinker\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), won top prizes at Cannes and Venice. However, the majority of his work has remained unappreciated. This, the first English language book on Olmi, explores the director's style and evolving environmentalism, from his early, institutional short films, made while working at an Italian energy company, to his 19 feature films. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Pettigrew\u003c\/b\u003e has published essays in \u003ci\u003eAsian Cinema, The Journal of Religion and Film, Cinej: Cinema Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and in the online media journal \u003ci\u003eIn Media Res\u003c\/i\u003e.
