In this episode of Popcorn Unscripted, we’re joined by Neil Laird to dig into Alice Rohrwacher’s haunting film La Chimera. Starring Josh O’Connor, this dreamlike story follows Arthur, an English archaeologist drawn into a world of tomb robbers, memory, and longing as he searches for something just out of reach.

Together, we explore the film’s surreal imagery, the blend of realism and myth, and the themes of grief, belonging, and unattainable dreams. From unforgettable performances to moments that blur the line between the living and the lost, we reflect on what makes La Chimera such a unique and deeply moving experience. Plus, Neil takes on Popcorn Roulette and some film trivia along the way!
