Happy as Lazzaro
Description:
Happy as Lazzaro is a gently surreal Italian drama centered on Lazzaro, a kind-hearted youth living in a marginalized rural community. As a wealthier world encroaches, the film blends neorealist detail with fable-like shifts to examine labor, class, and exploitation while celebrating generosity and resilience. Alice Rohrwacher crafts a hypnotic, humane portrait of friendship across social boundaries, where innocence meets a world of inequity with quiet courage and fragile hope.Keywords:
