I saw it a couple of times quite a few years ago.Perhaps not a great film but a worthwhile one. I think it was out around the time of "El Norte", a Spanish film and perhaps a better film.
I love Italian cinema and the poignancy and emotions they strive for. What the Italians can do has been evident to me from the first time I saw an Italian film.
Perhaps the descriptors you use, "humanism that elevates the whole experience", and "primitive" or primal, give some insight to it.
What the Italians can do can be seen in a film like "Flight of the Innocent". An action film, and done very well as an action film, yet full of great emotion.
Follow Ups:
"I think it was out around the time of "El Norte", a Spanish film and perhaps a better film."It was not "El Norte" (The North), but "El Sur" (The South), by Victor Erice, a wonderful film indeed, and one of the very few that is much much better than the short story it is inspired on. This one is one year later (1983) than "La Notte..." (1982), and Omero Antoniutti plays a significant role in both...
Glad to see that you´ve seen it, and liked it.

But the one I saw was "El Norte", I'm sure of it."Flight of the Innocent" is a great film and very underrated.
Then that would explain my misunderstanding, as you had said it was a Spanish film..., and curiously, both were filmed at a same time...If you ever have an opportunity to see "El Sur", you sure will enjoy it, as the excellent film it is.
