La Chimera (2023)
7/10
Interesting dreamy-like comedic Italian story
7 April 2024
Italian cinema is pretty interesting as Italy has crafted some of the most genuine and masterful works of art in the past history of cinema. While modern Italian works haven't been big for me, La Chimera is an interesting story with interesting choices of direction from Alice Rohrwacher, beautiful camerawork, writing and performances from the cast members. It's universe the movie settles itself is dream-like, bizarre, and quite engaging with the direction and camerawork guiding the narrative throughout.

Including some interesting music choices and performances that are wonderful. Since it is a slow-burn setting, there are some pacing issues that made me feel a bit disconnected with it's characters and certain aspects that could have been explored a bit more. It's undeniably an creative approach of modern Italian cinema and Rohrwacher has the potential to craft some amazing potential masterpieces for Italian cinema in the near future.
