Josh O’Connor plays a melancholy tomb-robber in Alice Rohrwacher’s (The Wonders, Happy as Lazzaro) captivating fable of love and treasure.
Tuscany, 1980s: An Englishman in a grimy linen suit, Arthur (O’Connor) is fresh out of prison. Yearning for his former lover, the daughter of a local aristocrat (Isabella Rossellini), he falls in with the tombaroli, a rowdy crew who loot the area’s ancient burial sites for artefacts to sell on the black market.
Located halfway between the dead and the living, with a wonderful performance from O’Connor and beautifully shot by Hélène Louvart, La Chimera is a wild, sweet ode to the power and fragility of lovely things, and a cautionary tale about how easily they may be lost.
