La Chimera is a movie directed by Alice Rohrwacher starring Josh O’Connor. With Carol Duarte, Vincenzo Nemolato and Isabella Rossellini. “La Chimera” is one of those movies that, right from the start, is special and beloved for being so: it’s eccentric, poetic, and a full-on tribute to Italian cinema and Italy itself, along with its rich history.
