It’s rare these days to find yourself happily lost in a movie’s dream. We have plenty of allegedly fantastical pictures begging for our attentiveness: projects based on already existing gazillion-dollar intellectual properties, puzzle movies with complicated, outlandish plots, classy horror films that strive to remind us, as if we needed reminding, that they’re part of a genre that deserves to be taken seriously. But Alice Rohrwacher’s enigmatic and bracing La Chimera, its touch as glancing as a zephyr, asks more of us while demanding less. It’s the kind of movie you wake up from, as opposed to one you merely watch.
La Chimera takes place in the Italian countryside, around Tuscany, circa 1980, though it largely exists in a place outside time. Arthur (Josh…

Others joked that she is their “favorite white woman of color” and “cultural appropriation is her middle name.” For years, Stefani’s work has borrowed from other cultures in ways that have led to accusations of cultural appropriation. In a recent interview with Allure, she was asked about the fragrance line she released in 2008, Harajuku Lovers, which like her 2004 album Love.Angel.Music.Baby. and personal style at the time heavily incorporated the Japanese subculture Harajuku. Stefani, who is Italian Amer…
“All things just keep getting better,” proclaims the theme song of groundbreaking reality show Queer Eye, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in July. For years, that sentiment rang true with regard to the movement for LGBTQ rights. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed in 2011. Early same-sex unions on the state and local levels led to nationwide marriage equality in 2015. The trans community gained unprecedented visibility as figures like Laverne Cox, Elliot Page, and Virginia state legislator Danica Roem burst onto the national stage.
