Happy as Lazzaro

At once a fable, a realist drama and a social critique, Alice Rohrwacher’s follow-up to The Wonders (VIFF 14) is another enthralling work. The good and innocent Lazzaro (Adriano Tardiolo), part of a community of indentured sharecroppers on a tobacco estate, serves as our guide to a world where time is in flux, modernity and tradition are at war, and miracles are possible… "Rewards viewers… with humour and uncanny grace, sealing Rohrwacher’s status… as a truly distinctive European major."—Variety
