La Chimera

14th October 2025

By Alice Rohrwacher | Italy | 2023 | 2h 13’ | Italian with English subtitles | 15

Josh O’Connor plays Arthur, a renegade British archaeologist in 1980’s Tuscany. Just released from prison, he makes an illicit living stealing historic artefacts with a bunch of disaffected locals helping his grave-robbing exploits. Plundering priceless treasure to sell on the black market proves a more lucrative living than anything else in this forgotten rural community but Arthur also seeks another chimera, his lost love Benjamina.

“The film’s got more than a hint of Fellini in it: a carnivalesque rogue’s galleria of faces” Mark Kermode
