"Josh O'Connor leads in Alice Rohrwacher's enchanting and mysterious 'La Chimera' at Cannes"

Alice Rohrwacher's La Chimera, starring Josh O'Connor, Isabella Rossellini, and Carol Duarte, is a beautiful and spiritual adventure, love story, and heist movie all in one. Set in the 1980s, the film follows a group of grave robbers who aim to steal treasures from bygone eras and sell them off to fences. O'Connor's character, Arthur, is on a spiritual quest to reunite with his true love, and his unique talents for excavating the past lead him to become the leader of the Tombaroli. The film deals with themes of the past and is a remarkable entry into Rohrwacher's growing filmography.
