Following in your footsteps, I now watched both Chimera and Lazzaro and will see others too - I only knew about Alice because of her talented sister Alba (fantastic in I'm Love and these films) but glad you wrote these reviews to introduce me to her work.
Garth, I really admire the zest with which you lean into your interests. Your excitement is so contageous and I've started a summer watch list after reading this post! Thank you so much for sharing your very niche finds with us!!
I just two days ago saw Corpo celeste for review purposes for Finnish newspaper Keskipohjanmaa. Corpo celeste is on TV today, which is Midsommer in Finland. Thank you for your beautiful essay.
After seeing the film I had to read Flannery O'Connor's A Temple of the Holy Ghost, because Corpo celeste brought it to mind. There's a convent school in that and the sisters' teaching is a bit like Santa's. And also O'Connor, like Rohrwacher, connects "heavenly body" to sexual body.
I also thought the ending was very beautiful and touching (as was the baptism), and also optimistic: what were the boys building throughout the film? Probably a better world for the future.

Thank you so much for reading this, and for leaving such a kind comment!
Great read! Now I have to check out La chimera and others. Zone of Interest was an incredible film.
This is brilliant! I look forward to seeing the films!
Thank you so much for reading this. I hope you enjoy the films!
