My review of Alice Rohrwacher's wondrous new work La Chimera: a film of immense magic and tactility. Released in the U.S. by NEON. Contact: thefilmloner@gmail.com
Good review, I think the only I've seen that really captures what the movie is about. I watched it yesterday and I liked how different and original it was in its style. I have a feeling it will stay with me for awhile.
This is a great review/essay! I would love to see more of you, you have a very pleasant style. Maybe an advice would be to speak a bit louder when recording the voiceover, and to add some music from time to time.
I’d say give it another rewatch somewhere down the line as I’ve found Rohrwacher’s films can play a lot better on second viewing for some. Thanks for watching!
I’d say Rohrwacher draws heavily from Fellini, particularly his stuff like La Strada and Roma. But the broader stylings ooze with Pasolini (w/ his film Accatone) and Rossellini influence.
@@thefilmloner Thank you so much. Honestly, I'm very ignorant and I haven't caught all the allusions he makes to Italian cinema in "La Chimera." The only one I could see clearly was a reference to Fellini's Rome when they find the tomb. Can you see any other references from any other Italian films?
It feels like I watched a different movie from the way you described this film. LOL. Glad you enjoyed this, but 😅 could not wait for this movie to end. And this is from someone who likes arthouse, slow paced movies.
i’ve watched this movie in the cinemas and was looking through a good review. and this is the only one i found. so well made. thank you ❤
Much appreciated!
Thank you for such a great Review. I was absolutely beside myself, out of body with this masterpiece.

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for watching!
Quality review. Saw it yesterday. Was puzzling but it has stayed with me. Enjoyed your commentary.
Thank you!
I saw this film yesterday and was mesmerized by it. What a magical tale
So true! And it somehow only gets more magical with subsequent viewings…

A fantastic film. A modern masterpiece.
Excellent review. La Chimera did significantly less than nothing for me personally, but I'm a huge fan of the passion it inspires in others.

100 percent agree ... so amazing
Excellent review
Watching it this week. Looking forward to it.
Enjoy! You’re in for a delight
Just saw it... This movie SUCCKKKKSSS.
Excuse me, do you know which Italian cinema films it refers to? Specific films by Rosellini, Fellini, Antonioni, Pasolini, Visconti; Which would be?

Have you seen Le Meraviglie? The movie won Cannes grand prix in 2014
I have not. But judging by how much I adored both Lazzaro Felice and La Chimera, I need to give it a watch ASAP!
After all these years i understand about Negrita music video ingio infinita
The tombraider team are flawless and but Miss Havisham is boring
How dare you ! Rossellini shimers with ageless charisma
@@user-lw6qj1yn7h yes i know she has a warm performance but i prefer fast tempo
