Il Sorpasso, 1962 - ★★★★★

Thinking of “Wild Strawberries” while watching this film - but of course with less obvious pathos and more Italian “ciao bella” attitude and humor.

So much love and humanity in this film. For people. For family. For friends. For the open road. And of course for Italy.

This looks great, has an amazing soundtrack and made me snort with laughter. 

A classic that deserves to be mentioned alongside other masterpieces from this era from Fellini, Visconti, and Rossellini.
