Based on a true story, Stephanie Di Giusto’s (The Dancer) bold and sensuous drama champions a woman who challenges society’s restrictive beauty standards.
1870s, Northern France: Rosalie (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) has a secret – her face and body are covered in hair. She’s concealed her hirsutism all her life, shaving to ensure she’s accepted in polite society. But her perspective changes when the conservative Abel (Benoît Magimel), unaware of her secret, marries her for her dowry. Could he love the real her? If not, why not? And what might happen if she went public?
With a winning central performance from Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rosalie is an optimistic and open-hearted story about the power of self-acceptance, beautifully shot in rural France and featuring an airy, emotive soundtrack by composer Hania Rani.

LA CHIMERA 15
2024-07-02 17:00 - 19:30, 2024-07-04 20:00 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Stamford Arts Centre, Theatre, 27 St Mary's Street, Stamford, PE9 2DL
Dir: Alice Rohrwacher | Italy, France, Switzerland | 2023 | 133 mins | Subtitled
Cast | Josh O’Connor, Carol Duarte, Vincenzo Nemolato, Isabella Rossellini, Alba Rohrwacher
Josh O’Connor (Netflix’s The Crown, God’s Own Country, Challengers) plays a melancholy tomb-robber in Alice Rohrwacher’s (The Wonders, Happy as Lazzaro) captivating fable of love and treasure.
Tuscany, 1980s: An Englishman in a grimy linen suit, Arthur (O’Connor) is fresh out of prison. Yearning for his former lover, the daughter of a local aristocrat (Isabella Rossellini), he falls in with the tombaroli, a rowdy crew who loot the area’s ancient burial sites for artefacts to sell on the black market.
Located halfway between the dead and the living, with a wonderful performance from O’Connor and beautifully shot by Hélène Louvart, La Chimera is a wild, sweet ode to the power and fragility of lovely things, and a cautionary tale about how easily they may be lost.
