Happy As Lazzaro

Wonderful performances and the movie has a dream like quality which I loved. Lazzaro is the Innocent in each of us, buried deep. Give it a go, your brain has to work differently to watch it as it's not a regular mainstream film.

A touching and thoughtful drama.

This is a sweet and atmospheric film with some good performances, interesting moments and a magic realism-meets-cinema verite style. Plus points are the naturalistic acting, locations and overall mood, also various nods to films of the past. Minus points are the slow pace at times.. and the ending. Yep. Oh dear. The less said about the ending the better. So I'll stop there. Talking about the ending, that is. Stopping... now.

Loved this start to finish. The lead character is the sweetest, naive young thing, completely selfless and uniquely magical. The cinematography is subtle but beautiful. The ideas throughout are incredible magic realism, and the ending is sublime and heartbreaking all at once. Can't recommend this enough!

I was so touched by this film. There is a gentle beauty in it that will leave you in wonderment. The ending was not what I expected but was what the film deserved.

Very enjoyable, beautifully acted and touching

This film is utterly charming and at points timeless with references to the masters of cinema Fellini and Tarkovsky.

Heard about this film and thought it might be worth a go - but found it rather cool and unengaging. It's well made and acted but I was too aware of just watching it and feeling utterly detached. The weirdness that develops as characters relocate is fine but as I wasn't engaged with them earlier, it just didn't seem to matter...

Le cadeau a été apprécié!

Sono molto contenta di poter comprare un film Italiano dal quale il mio professore ha parlato nel corso di Italiano!!Non sono italiana ma seguo l'italiano da 13 anni!Grazie a Amazon posso rivedere il film a casa. È un film meraviglioso!!Thérèse Thomas

Whimsical film, the actors are naive and do a fantastic performance loved this unique masterpiece.

Italian film about a slow thinking young man who lives somewhere in the middle of Italy(contry side), and everyone likes him because they take advantage of him, made him do their work duties.Along comes the bosses( who son (a young man in his early twenties) who also start to take advantage of him, some where along the movie Lazzaro suffer a mishap and he finds himself in the near future where everybody is gone. A very strange story with the twist kind of stupid. Lazzaro is supposed to be likeable character, but there is not much to like about this movie.
