“The film can be heisty, larky and madcap. It also comes wrapped up with metaphysics, economics and grief.” (Financial Times)

A haunting film, with a strong vein of anarchic comedy, about our connections to the past and how the living feed off the dead, financially and emotionally. It combines Italian neorealism and the Gothic in a manner distinctive of Alice Rohrwacher’s cinema.

“La Chimera is a film that utterly occupies its own fictional space; it expresses its eccentric romance in its own fluent movie dialect. I was utterly captivated by this sad, lovelorn adventure.” (Guardian)
