The Crown’s Josh O’Connor proves he’s just as good in Italian as he is in English in Alice Rohrwacher’s heady mix of gritty social drama and magical realism.
Adrift Englishman Arthur is mourning his lost love and whose dowsing talents see him join a group of grave robbers to locate ancient artefacts. Director Rohrwacher dips in and out of Arthur’s reveries in a tale of intrigue that offers plenty to unearth.
“Bewitching… a joyous, masterful work of folk magic”
