In Alice Rohrwacher’s beguiling new film, nothing stays buried forever
I will admit that my first comment about La Chimera, Italian director Alice Rohrwacher’s fourth feature film, is not exactly highbrow but: wow is this movie full of great noses! There is lead actor Josh O’Connor’s prominent prow and Isabella Rossellini’s rather more refined one. And a slew of Italian unknowns bring a few of the Roman variety to proceedings, though the very best belongs to Vincenzo Nemolato, whose wondrous expressions light up every scene he is in.
His rag-tag group of tomb raiders, or the rather more rhythmic tombaroli in Italian – led by the charming and forceful Pirro – dig the spots up before selling the goods to mysterious local figure Spartaco, who is able to forge provenance documents and sell the cargo at a massive profit to international dealers.
