Review of Happy as Lazzaro

This film simply resonated with me and gave me a glimpse of a spiritual being (without him knowing it) and the simplicity required. The first part of the film is very slow, and sometimes it is not clear what story is told. It did not matter to me as the quiet pace transformed the depicted misery into peace and the intertwined relations into simple co-existence. The behaviour of the Marquesa and the situation after the "twist" of the story should make you want to call out and feel outraged (and at this point, the film could have been a bit shorter) but still the mind-less-ness of Lazzaro is enchanting, mesmerizing ... experience of one-ness.
