There are some films that change you forever, Happy As Lazzaro is one of them. It is a painfully beautiful film with the socioeconomic insight of Leviathan, the poetic heart of The Shape Of Water and the emotional punch of The Diving Bell & the Butterfly. I saw it last night and it's resonance is still reverberating through my heart and mind. It is so intelligently drawn, steeped in allegory and metaphor that are both an indictment of our worst selves and a reminder of the infinite possibility of our choice to be good, to exercise positive unconditional regard for others. Thank you to Alice Rohrwacher and Tempesta Film for creating this masterpiece. Deeply affecting & not to be missed.
