Five Tweets about Lazzaro Felice (Happy as Lazzaro) (2018) [and some links]
Of course, there's the Christ archetype, so it will be familiar when a trusting figure is also open to exploitation, viewed as possibly saintly, and yet rejected.— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) March 26, 2019
But these two films do all of that better - plus Kosmos gives us the alien sounds of telecomms and magical breaths.
Bringing in what seems a current theme, with some elements of the family background of Shoplifters (Manbiki kazoku) (2018) [which was the winner at @Festival_Cannes (Lazzaro Felice was in the Official Selection)], the film tries to point so many messages, from Lazarus to leprosy.— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) March 26, 2019
Essentially, this is a film, not a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder - such as his Netherlandish Proverbs - and maybe we tire of all that is telling us how life is and how it goes, and maybe a little predictable for it... ? pic.twitter.com/0WTuCjtvIN— THE AGENT APSLEY #ScrapUniversalCredit #JC4PM2019 (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) March 26, 2019
