Alice Rohrwacher's 'La Chimera' Receives Rave Reviews and Standing Ovation at Cannes Film Festival

Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher's La Chimera received a 9-minute standing ovation at its world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, tying for the longest of this year's event with Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. The film is an adventure, love story, and heist movie set in the 1980s and deals with Italy's notorious Tombaroli. The film couldn't have been done without everybody who is here and especially Josh O'Connor, said Rohrwacher.
