Happy As Lazzaro
- 7:15PM
On an isolated tobacco farm, the cherubic Lazzaro lives in a state of seemingly blissful ignorance, toiling tirelessly under the thumb of a pitiless Marchessa—until suddenly and stunningly, everything changes. Past and present entwine with miraculous results in Italian auteur Alice Rohrwacher’s luminous magical realist fable, a moving parable of class and capitalist exploitation caressed in gorgeous, sun-kissed 16mm.
