La Chimera (dir. Alice Rohrwacher) x VIFF 2023.

A beguiling Josh O'Connor in a dirty white linen suit stars as a recently released from prison British archaeologist turned grave robber who stumbles into a European network of stolen Etruscan artifacts in 1980s Tuscany. It’s a strange period romantic drama about obsession blending ideas of historical folklore and unattainable dreams in Italy’s past and present.

• Screening at the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival as part of the Special Presentations series at the Vancouver Playhouse on Oct. 2.
