Arthur\, a British archaeologist just released from prison and grieving his lost love\, soon falls back in with a rag-tag gang of petty thieves plundering pre-Roman tombs in the Italian countryside. Hijinks ensue\, but his mystic connection with these tombs will either be his doom or salvation. Imagine Indiana Jones crossed with Fellini and you have a sense of this marvelous film.  Part caper movie\, part romance\, La Chimera draws on the mystical and the mythic\, on national history and magic realism\, to create something extraordinary.  Stars Josh O’Connor (The Crown) and Carol Duarte\, with a guest appearance by Isabella Rossellini. Palace. 								\n				\n									\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n									Italy\, 2023\, 130 min.
