"But we try to work on that fine line between realism and fairy tales, so the costumes also have a deeper, symbolic meaning. Arthur has this white suit that he wears throughout the seasons because he may be a ghost—he may or may not exist."

“It was the most beautiful experience making the film, but also taxing. I spent so long fascinated by this idea of the beyond, the void; I grew up Catholic where there is the concept of an afterlife but as I’ve gotten older that fantasy has become less in me. So trying to tune myself into that for the film was difficult.” — Josh on playing Arthur, AnOther

La Chimera is a very good film for many reasons but one that I keep thinking about is that moment at the end where you see such a well of emotion from Arthur and realize what an absolute shell of a man he's been throughout the rest of the film and the contrast is just so stark and so illuminating…Josh O'Connor the actor you are

Watching La Chimera by Alice Rohrwacher felt like waking up from a nap in the spring afternoon of my Italian countryside when the sky is pink and calm, the trees are still, and I'm eating my favourite Italian dish followed by my favourite Italian dessert and all I'm thinking is this is so ridiculously worth living for.

I'm not that familiar with Rohrwacher's cinematography, this is the second thing that I watch from her, and I feel like a stupid for not catching up before on this italian excellency. She has such a delicate, honest way as a storyteller and as a director. I got to experience my own country like I've never did before, it felt like discovering hidden things in plain sight. Her way is exactly how you tell about Italy to the rest of the world.

La Chimera is such a heartfelt, funny, sweet -so well written/performed/executed- story, i laughed at the legendary Italian attempts to dishonestly climb the social ladder, then proceed to party and drink wine with your buddies. It's a stereotype but it's true. Every character is taking advantage of the other, but this is my dumb country and I'm allowed to laugh at it.

The scene when like six people try to enter in a tiny car that already has two people in it, is such an Italian way to be, I laughed so hard. It was also no surprise that is the portuguese Italia the one teaching Arthur Italian's gestures. It was so funny, it was culturally multilayered, I found it meaningful.

But this is also a sweet portrait of grief and love after death. I almost cried when the storytellers were singing about how the Englishman decided to forget about the pain in order to really start living. It was a brief moment, but I felt such a remarkable hope in my heart. I'll never forget this movie, it's silences, it's loud magic and the scene where Arthur unveils Cibele's sun bathed decapitated head, he stroke its forehead and he smiles before throwing it in the sea, away from human eyes.

Everyone involved in it did such a great job, and I feel proud.

I'm also giving Josh O'Connor Italian residence for being able to say a fully perfect 'che cazzo' every time. He can now also pick a fight like Italians do, at every minimum inconvenience. I'm sure he had the time of his life on this set.
