Movie Review: Alice Rohrwacher's tombaroli tale 'La Chimera' is pure magic
Quick Glance: La Chimera: Rohrwacher's Genius Overshadowed by Whimsy
  • Alice Rohrwacher's genius is intricately tied to her belief that cinema is a natural extension of imagination, rather than a mere reflection.

  • La Chimera delves into the economic status of a different class in Italian society and the moral and spiritual cost of sacrificing one's history for quick gains.

  • The film blends Fellini-esque aesthetics with scenes on a steam-powered barge and a lively dance at a seaside carnival.

  • Despite acclaim at Cannes, La Chimera feels contrived compared to Rohrwacher's previous works, leaning towards excessive whimsy that detracts from the overall impact.

Quick Glance: French Senators Reject EU-Canada Free-Trade Deal
  • France's Sénat overwhelmingly voted against a free-trade agreement between the EU and Canada due to a unique alliance opposing President Macron.

  • The rejection of the CETA agreement, which has been provisionally in force since 2017, does not affect its application.

  • While a setback for the government, the no-vote does not nullify the agreement, requiring official EU notification for effectiveness.
