Ermanno Olmi ( born July 24, 1931 ) is a noted italian director. Olmi's films fit snuggly in to the artistic mold of Italian Neo-realism, though Olmi would argue (and does argue, in an interview found on the Criterion Edition DVD of his 1961 film, Il Posto) that this is the artistic tradition he is responding against. Olmi's films, like most of those considered to be a product of the neo-realist movement, feature non-actors performing in authentic locations, are shot in authentic locations, and generally contain some sort of social commentary.
