Happy as Lazzaro (2018)
Written & directed by Alice Rohrwacher this film stars Adriano Tardiolo, Nicoletta Braschi and Alba Rohrwacher. Sharecroppers on a tobacco farm in Italy are illegally expoilted.
If this film is not the grand child of Italian Neo Realism I do not know what is. The film does a great job of marrying an innocent outlook with the crushing disappointment of reality. By the end of the film you are very definitely supposed to wonder if things are better or just different.
4/5
