Il Posto is not an ambitious movie. Its told from the perspective of a regular working class boy. What it tries and ultimately succeeds at is showing us how alienating and distant the corporate world can feel. But this story is not about kafkazque alienation with bureaocracy, because at its center we see a romance between two young people. Facing the cold, gray reality of the working life, Antonietta and Domenico rely on each other to prove that love is still possible even in the grim world of tight work schedules and endless forms and papers you need to navigate around. Domenico, like everyone else in his place is trying to cope with his new life and to make the most out of it. My favorite character is the person assigned to supervise him. He is so used to the corporate life that nothing can really get to him. While Domenico faces every new thing with anxiety and fear, Portioli is relaxed and doesn't seem to take anything happening there seriously. In the end we see corporate climbing at its best, with different workers fighting for the desk at the front, which Domenico has been given. He gives his desk to a senior worker and takes the desk at the back, learning a lot about the corporate circle of life.
