2018 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 6 – Alice Rohrwacher’s Happy as Lazzaro (Lazzaro Felice)

Published on May 13, 2018

Winner of the 2nd highest prize offered at the Cannes Film Festival with her sophomore film The Wonders in 2014, and she previously made a splash in the Directors’ Fortnight with Corpo celeste. Coming from a docu background, Alice Rohrwacher’s approach for Happy as Lazzaro (Lazzaro Felice) is all fairytale.

Still too early to make a proper assessment, but our critics are clearly divided with grades varying from one star to four stars.
