La Chimera is a dream-like romp through Italy’s archaeological and cinematic past.

Set in 1980s Tuscany, the latest from Alice Rohrwacher (The Wonders and Happy as Lazzaro, which alongside La Chimera, make an informal trilogy) follows a vaudeville-esque group of tomb raiders seeking out relics of the Etruscans — famous for their sensitivity and a culture that might have saved Italy from its oppressive machismo — with the help of Arthur (Josh O’Connor), a linen-clad English prodigy.
