MUBI announces the exclusive UK & Ireland streaming release of Alice Rohrwacher’s acclaimed La Chimera on the 2nd of August.
MUBI, the global streaming service, film distributor, and production company has announced that Alice Rohrwacher’s latest feature La Chimera starring Josh O’Connor, Carol Duarte, Vincenzo Nemolato and Isabella Rossellini, will stream exclusively on MUBI in the UK and Ireland from 2 August 2024.
The widely acclaimed new film by one of the most distinctive voices of contemporary cinema, La Chimera is a dreamy tale of lost love and archaeology by Alice Rohrwacher, unearthing truths about our place within history, caught between the realm of the living and the dead.
THE PREMISE
In 1980s rural Italy, a rag-tag group of grave robbers search for lost Etruscan treasures. Led by the wistful, laconic Arthur (Josh O’Connor) who is mourning the loss of his beloved Beniamina. His otherworldly talents are used by the group in order to procure ancient artefacts to sell on the black market. But his quest to bridge the gap between past and present has far higher stakes.
While he’s staying at the once beautiful home of Beniamina’s mother (Isabella Rossellini). Who indulges his tendency to revel in the past, Arthur unexpectedly meets the young Italia (Carol Duarte). Whose friendship spurs him to look forward as he inches closer and closer to an illuminating discovery.
“CINEMATIC MAGIC”
La Chimera is a work of pure cinematic magic that transcends time. And interrogates our relationship with death with wit and poetic insight. Creating a vivid, joyful dimension with the help of Hélène Louvart’s sun-soaked film cinematography. And a stunning, career-defining performance by Josh O’Connor. The film received its World Premiere In Competition at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Followed by a UK theatrical release in May 2024, where it was released by Curzon Film. Becoming one of the standout box office successes of the year.
La Chimera will stream exclusively on MUBI in the UK & Ireland from the 2nd of August.
