La Chimera

“No description of what happens in La Chimera can adequately convey what happens in La Chimera, which feels like watching an occurrence of ancient magic, from the point of view of the spell”
Jessica Kiang, Sight and Sound
“Alice Rohrwacher’s new film is a beguiling fantasy-comedy of lost love: garrulous, uproarious and celebratory in her absolutely distinctive style. It’s a movie bustling and teeming with life, with characters fighting, singing, thieving and breaking the fourth wall to address us directly.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“When we talk about “movie magic,” the first thing that comes to mind is often something like the bikes achieving liftoff in “E.T.” But it applies no less to Alice Rohrwacher’s wondrous “La Chimera,” a grubbily transcendent folk tale of a film that finds its enchantment buried in the ground.”
