"Exploring the Mystique of 'La Chimera' with Josh O'Connor and Alice Rohrwacher"

In Alice Rohrwacher's film "La Chimera," a melancholic man named Arthur Harrison, played by Josh O'Connor, robs graves in central Italy to find a connection to the afterlife. The movie's earthy, magical realism is underscored by O'Connor's somber performance, as he struggles to reconcile his existence with the world around him. The film is rich with allusions and evocations of Italy's storied heritage, reminiscent of the work of Italian filmmakers like the Taviani brothers, Pasolini, and Fellini.
