About this Event
LA CHIMERA (2023)
La Chimera presents as a playful film with a large sprinkle of magic realism but underlying its exuberance, physical comedy, and big personality is a sadness of what’s no longer there.
Set in 1980s Tuscany, Arthur, a former archaeology scholar, now tomb raider is the “finder” in a gang of low-level grave robbers who steal treasures buried with the dead for the passage in the afterlife.
There’s the question of who owns these objects — everyone or no one — and what that means for Italy and its citizens.
La Chimera is about these in-between places, where the ancient and the modern, the dead and the living, meet.
Enigmatic, absorbing and so much more alive than any pottery behind glass in a museum, this is an exquisitely crafted, grown-up Indiana Jones steeped in its own distinctive magic. Empire Magazine, Laura Venning
