Thursday 26th September
La CHIMERA
Thank you to everyone who joined us earlier this year, we had record audiences and some hugely entertaining films. We are now back from summer break with the international hit (Italian with subtitles) La Chimera, a captivating, eccentric, rumbustious adventure. Directed by Alice Rohrwacher, La Chimera is utterly Italian – poignant yet joyous, a visual feast and a sensory jolt. Set in 1980s Tuscany, it follows a lovelorn Englishman plundering Italy’s historical artefacts with a bizarre gang of grave-robbers. Starring Josh O’Connor (Prince Charles for fans of The Crown) as the renegade British archaeologist and Isabella Rossellini as the mother of his lost love.
‘There’s something about the folkloric quality of Rohrwacher’s films, their embrace of a kind of earth magic, that prompts people to describe them as fairytales. But this is perhaps misleading. La Chimera is no twinkly escapist fantasy, it’s a film full of grit, thorns and greed … garrulous, uproarious and celebratory … bustling and teeming with life.’ The Guardian
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 26th September for a taste of Italy. Join us for a drink at 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm.
