Alice Rohrwacher: ‘I want my films to feel like Pasolini’s, like they are parables’

In Ireland, grave-robbing is bound up with the ghoulish practices of the Victorian era. The Irish serial killers William Burke and William Hare murdered 16 people in 1828 to sell to the Edinburgh anatomist Robert Knox. That year James McCartney, a professor of anatomy at Trinity College Dublin, testified before a parliamentary select committee on the hiring of “resurrection men” to obtain corpses for his students.

This tells us that, yes, he is a romantic hero. But he’s also a ridiculous hero. You can tell by looking at him. He’s a romantic hero in a world that no longer has anything romantic about it.”, which won the award for best screenplay at Cannes in 2018. The actor lived in a camper van and bathed in a lake during the La Chimera shoot. He also learned Italian and some sign language .

“This gives me a different perspective on time as a concept. In the present time I not only see what is present but also what is past. The present for me is not only what I have to do; it’s also asking what are the things that we have to leave to the archaeologists of the future, once we ourselves have become the past.”, Rohrwacher’s first narrative feature, won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2014. Her short, Le Pupille, was nominated for an Oscar in 2023.
