I'm shocked that this doesn't get talked about way more, it's such a fresh and accomplished way of telling a story with plenty of surprising turns. It's also the best implementation of magical realism I have seen yet - particularly the first half manages to create a feeling so timeless that I was continuously surprised by the modern elements (without them feeling gimmicky as so often happens in other films). A beautiful film!

An art film through and through, with major themes of anticapitalist critique and religious mysticism. The fable and fantasy elements don't always make total sense, but if they did the film wouldn't be nearly so worthy of a classic hermeneutical picking-apart over a glass of wine. Adriano Tardiolo never strays from his focused performance as a holy fool.

Neorealism meets magical realism with balmy, nostalgic 16mm film. Confronts the fact that nothing will ever change for the poorest in society under the established banner of progress, but I think Lazzaro’s otherworldly beneficence presents a tension between nurture and exploitation that transcends class commentary. His ghostly presence through time seems to expose a range of inherently good and bad things in others, on a really human, personal level as well as a societal one.

I really liked this film. I found Lazzaro a quite endearing figure - he's a quiet, introverted type and he has a sort of naive charm to him - he with the large (and seemingly un-blinking) eyes. I felt frustrated by those who chose to exploit him (if but only mildly) and indeed, exploitation is certainly a relevant theme in this film, as well as tolerance perhaps. I liked/respected the simplicity aspect of it.

Aziz Lazzaro'nun hikayesi. Tütün ekimi ile uğraşan uzak bir malikanede çalışan Lazzaro, evin sahibinin oğlu kaybolur. Lazzaro ile anlaşan evin oğlu, polisler tarafından baskına uğrar. Bedava çalışan marabalar, evden kurtulur. Lazzaro tek başına kalır. Hayatın gerçekleri ile yüzleşir. Filmin sonunda, şehir hayatını gören Lazzaro, ruhunu teslim eder. Film, uzun olması dezavantaj. Ayrıca, fazla önyargılı davranılmış. Kurda kuşa teslim oldum.

Interesting, but somewhat lacking a strong point Italian magic-realist fable. For the first half it's intriguing story about peasants seemingly struck in time who are taken advantage of by landlordess, with a 'God's Kindhearted Simpleton' as a central figure. Around the middle the film undergoes tonal and temporal shift that cought me by surprise. I didn't like that part too much, and while socio-economic commentary is interesting, it never really becomes clear. 16mm pleases at first, not long.

Feels like it's laying down the tracks as the train is running, for better or worse. Starts fine enough, but once it changes gears at the first critical point, its grandiose scope begins to be felt as it moves through its own version of time, inspecting a number of socioeconomic themes without much defined conclusion -- and I'm sure the worn-out grainy 16mm will appeal to some. It's not quite a masterpiece from Rohrwacher, but I'm sure she's got one in her.

Rohrwacher increases the dose of politics constructing a cinematic theory of "uneven and combined development" a la Trotsky, and a theory of everyday peasant resistance a la Gramsci. Lazzaro, among others, can be read as a naive and simple "paesan," who cannot resist his oppressors directly, but also in a way his pure soul produces a natural contradiction with the former (unintended kidnap of the son, or unintended bank robbery), making him a revolutionary subject. Poetic, ugly, and strong.
