unlabelledView post →Andrea Arnold's BIRD is my film of the year. Genuinely made me breathless. Up there with Alice Rohrwacher's HAPPY AS LAZZARO in being the moment that a filmmaker I admire produces something giddily stratospheric - and similarly does it by embracing magical realism and real thematic density.
unlabelledView post →A magical film, truly wondrous. If you haven’t seen Rohrwacher’s other films, I would definitely recommend them, especially THE WONDERS and HAPPY AS LAZZARO. Her worldview is unique.

unlabelledView post →Adriano Tardiolo is really good in this biblically apt story of the young “Lazzaro”. He’s a generous-spirited young man who energetically helps out in his community - one under the thumb of the uncaring dominatrix “Marchesa” (Nicoletta Braschi) who treats this agrarian community little better than the animals she describes them as.

positive · AI labelView post →Honourable mention goes to Happy As Lazzaro as a movie that is not from 2024, but I did watch for the first time this year. Beautiful film. I hope to watch it may times in years to come
unlabelledView post →A tale (or fable?) of social commentary by directress and writer Alice Rohrwacher (that I first knew in the short "Le Pupille") in rural Italy with touches of anti capitalism and class division, where sharecroppers live, without knowing their semi-slavery state because of lack of knowledge. Lazzaro the protagonist, is an innocent character that is happy to make others happy, in the pureness of his heart. He doesn't know who is his father of mother just who is maybe his grandmother. There are…
positive · AI labelView post →‘Happy as Lazzaro’ comes and goes like an airy fable but doesn’t make as much of an impact as it wants to. Through a lack of convincing and earned pivot, its first half in realism drags down the escapism it yearns for in its second half. Its ambition is to be commended and is definitely a film that deserves to be seen, but as a whole is just verging on greatness. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-happy-as-lazzaro-more-than-meets-the-eye
