Alice Rohrwacher makes films to shake us from our lethargy and invite us to reflect on the state of the world. Like or dislike: that's beside the point.
She is trying to break the audience's hypnosis and welcomes struggles to get into her films as alternative ways to approach cinema, rather than insisting on immediate engagement.
Her film 'La Chimera' delves into a crime caper involving tomb-raiders but encompasses broader themes of the living and the dead, history, politics, and the changing attitudes towards ancient artifacts.
