Il Posto
Il Posto effectively demonstrates the universality of film. Much of the time, the dialogue is unnecessary. It's all in the eyes and the faces. There is much silence in this film and in that silence, truth is revealed. One of my favorite silent scenes is where Domenico enters the New Year's Eve party. Initially, there aren't many people there. The sounds of his footsteps communicate to anyone who's ever made a similar journey into a nearly vacant party. The nod of the head by one of the guests full of compassion, excitement, resignation and anticipation.
