La Chimera (4 Nov)

From ScreenHub’s five-star review of La Chimera:
‘Rohrwacher transports us to 1980s Italy to examine class, capitalism, and the fascinating yet ultimately bleak world of the ‘tombaroli’: graverobbers who sell their goods on the black market just to earn a living.
‘Our leading man Arthur (Josh O’Connor) is a British archaeologist who’s done hard time after getting involved in a network of graverobbers in Italy. These robbers steal and fence artefacts from the Etruscan period, most of which were left in tombs as offerings for spirits in the afterlife.
Arthur has been released from prison, but rather than denouncing his criminal ways, he gets right back into it.’ Read more …
