“How can a movie be so nimbly poised between past and present, you can’t help but wonder. The stuff of fairy tales -- of a kind of storytelling magic -- is what Rohrwacher, herself, wants to unearth.” - Jake Coyle, Associated Press
“A beguiling fantasy-comedy of lost love: garrulous, uproarious and celebratory in her absolutely distinctive style” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
In Tuscany during the early 80s, Arthur (Josh O’Connor), a melancholic British archeologist, is recently released from prison and yearning for his deceased love Beniamina. His desire to reconnect with Beniamina in the spirit world and his expertise in ancient burial sites have combined into the lucky superpower of uncovering invaluable graves. Falling in with a crew of Fellini-esque grave-diggers, he tracks tombs down to raid them of their precious antiques to sell on the black market. Alice Rohrwacher's (Happy As Lazarro) captivating folk tale weaves a romantic, dream-like journey among the living with Italy’s necropolitic and cinematic past.
