Watch Happy as Lazzaro (Lazzaro felice) [Sub: Eng]
In a sensational and energizing atmosphere, this film pursues two companions Lazzaro who is a poor kind person and Tancredi, a youthful aristocrat. At the point when Tancredi's family move from the town to inhabit the city, their kinship appears to end. Lazzaro chose to confront every one of the troubles and difficulties, he goes on an energizing experience through the wide city scanning for his closest companion.
Rohrwacher isn't interested in resurrecting the ghosts of movies past so much as channeling the Brothers Grimm. She does not want to just show you pretty pictures, but a genuine vision.
Easily among this year's finest films and laced with an unapologetic social message, 'Happy As Lazzaro' dares one to imagine a reality where each individual would task themselves to be as selfless and morally whole as its main protagonist.
This movie feels bracingly new and also like something that has been here forever. It has the urgency of a news bulletin and the authority of a classic.
[Happy as Lazzaro] is a true standout: a Super 16mm fugue state that is both elegy and lament for a world that once valued selfless deeds and the humanistic interaction between fellow men above self-preservation and eternal mistrust.
[Rohrwacher] provides the truth of our collective contemporary paranoia. Rather than see [Lazzaro] as a saint to exploit, he becomes a devil harboring ulterior motives.
Part of the movie's fun - and it is fun, once you adjust to its uninsistent rhythms - is how it forces you to share Lazarro's go-along-to-get-along ebullience.
