Review of La Chimera

La Chimera (2023)
6/10
It was .... ok
6 May 2024
Solid premise, acting from the lead (at points he and it reminded me of the kind of film you might have seen Donald Sutherland in in the 70s) and a number of individual scenes that were compelling and held your attention (in the tomb by the power plant, the railway station squatter house of women and children, the bookending train scenes). It's all the inbetween that I struggled with ... and I read a review that described it as a comedy? Any comedic elements I found a bit naff. At points it reminded me of "The Last Wave" (but that's a much much better film), and at others of "Memoria" (also at turns compelling and repelling). Interesting moments but at parts a real trudge.
