Alice Rohrwacher, Josh OConnor Isabella Rossellini on La Chimera, NYFF61

Alice Rohrwacher, Josh O Connor, and Isabella Rossellini sat down with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim after the NYFF61 premiere of their Main Slate selection La Chimera to discuss archaeology, mutual admiration, and a new generation of Italian filmmaking. With her customarily bewitching mixture of earthiness and magical realism, Alice Rohrwacher (Happy as Lazzaro) conjures a marvelous entertainment starring Josh OConnor as a neerdo well Englishman, handsomely rumpled and recently out of prison, who returns to a rural town in central Italy where he hesitantly reconnects with a ragtag group oftombaroli(tomb raiders).
