What We Think

La Chimera is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on storytelling and atmosphere instead of contemporary identity agendas. Even in 2023, some filmmakers seem able to resist Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes personal journeys, subtle romantic themes, and Italy’s archaeological underbelly without shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are drawn based on their story function and quirks, not as banners for modern ideological causes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, tradition, and spirituality are woven into the film’s tapestry; if anything, it’s a meditation on loss and longing rather than a deconstruction project. Masculinity and femininity are shown through authentic, historically-rooted lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Viewers are treated to nuanced, multifaceted perspectives. There’s no dominant ideology, no soapboxing. Characters disagree and wrestle with life’s complexities – imagine that!
