- La Chimera @ IFI "Late Late" Breakfast - Friday Night MovieIrish Film Institute, Dublin 2, D
Hi everyone,
I was so hopeful the times on the schedule for this Friday suited for the movie La Chimera. It was a popular movie at the Italian David di Donatello awards a few weeks ago, and it has been received positively from critics, being called “an exquisitely crafted, grown-up Indiana Jones” by Empire Magazine and receiving 5 stars from The Guardian. It stars Isabella Rossellini and British actor Josh O’Connor.
La Chimera @ 8:30pm (131 mins) in Cinema 1
LA CHIMERA - Official HD Trailer (2024) - Only In CInemas
On his release from prison, Arthur (O’Connor) immediately visits Flora ( Rossellini), mother of his lost love. Although Arthur’s tendency is to keep to himself, he soon falls in with a group of tombaroli, grave robbers who loot the ancient Etruscan tombs prevalent in the area for goods to sell on the black market, the very activity that put Arthur in jail in the first place. He is further drawn out of his shell by Flora’s housekeeper Italia (Carol Duarte) and the children she has been hiding in Flora’s house without her knowledge.Dinner Beforehand @ 6:30pm
I’ll book a table for dinner at 6:30pm at the IFI Café Bar. If you wish to join us for dinner, please post a Comment to be included in the numbers. Note that they do not split bills there so it’s CASH ONLY again for this one, and there’s a 10% service charge on large table bookings.P.S. I won’t in any way take it personally if you ditch us and go to see a wonderful movie out and showing at The Lighthouse - C’é Ancora Domani - I can heartily recommend seeing it before it’s gone!
