Lazzaro vieni fuori

I've read a couple of reviews for this elsewhere and the claims made for this frothy short are just over the top. Really nothing happens - a clearly gay student directs a Bible story in a different way to the usual themes. In the meantime he disturbs the local priest by guessing the latter is gay.

The whole thing is totally inconsequential; the film is far too short for deeper issues to be discussed.

Claudio is attractive and a disruptive influence for sure. But I just don't know what the film was trying to convey.

For me, this was not really a success.

A play about the ressurection of Right Lazarus. A young man proposing to the paroch the script and his acting as The Savior. I feel very familiar the embarassement of the middle age priest front the exuberancy, provocative spirit, new perspective about Lazarus resurrection . Maybe, this is the virtue of film - to give the fair image of a clash great in its profound meanings. A film about faith more than a nice, easy, ironic comedy about church or religion. Seductive for the precise mix of sweet and bitter.
