Directed by the Taviani brothers, this is the story of a Sardinian peasant boy who manages to escape a moral and intellectual death by joining the Army. A beautifully structured Bildungsroman (Bildungskino?), i found it so satisfying. My favorite sequence is where SPOILERS!

You hear him pronouncing new words as he learns them, with the words beginning as material nouns (tools and other objects) and ending as abstract, philosophical and moral categories.
