Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try to achieve but never manage to find. For the band of tombaroli, thieves of ancient grave goods and archaeological wonders, the Chimera means redemption from work and the dream of easy wealth. For Arthur, the Chimera looks like the woman he lost, Beniamina. To find her, Arthur challenges the invisible, searches everywhere, goes inside the earth -- in search of the door to the afterlife of which myths speak. In an adventurous journey between the living and the dead, between forests and cities, between celebrations and solitudes, the intertwined destinies of these characters unfold, all in search of the Chimera.

Critics Consensus

If La Chimera is a wild, improbable pursuit, this marvelous and magical tale by Alice Rochrwacher is the pie in the sky to behold.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The film's got more than a hint of Fellini in it; a carnivalesque rogues galleria of faces...

The film’s riches come from Rohrwacher’s seemingly inexhaustible wealth of ideas...

It stirs up a fierce protectiveness in the viewer. Treasure this now, hold it, turn it, and examine it from all sides, or it may slip beyond your grasp.

Beautifully enigmatic & mysterious… I was swept up in the beguiling world of La Chimera. Josh O’Connor delivers a sublime performance.

... That’s just the kind of improbably original, rousing, moving, fascinating film this is.

It was mysterious and accidentally beautiful. It reminded me of what movies can be.

A sweet, funny, sad movie. Great actors (although the Italian gang was a little stereotypical). We could see it again since.

A deep and moving film about love, history, family, power, passions, and class. It is shot beautifully throughout Italy, with genuine characters and a sweet story that is a pleasure to witness unfold. A bit long, but you don't mind in the end.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
