Not one of her best - La Chimera review by MD
I've watched a couple of earlier films by the same director and found them fascinating and compelling.
This one however isn't up to the same standard and seems a bit of a whimsical mess and at 2 hours plus, is just too long.
Even the character played by Josh O'connor doesn't have any real depth and he comes across as an Oirish tinker who's wandered into Italy by mistake. But no, he's an Etruscan grave robber (?!). You see the problems....
