That unheated dwelling no doubt contributed to the chronic cough he’s developed. The is a wonderful part for the very gifted O’Connor, who got his breakthrough in 2017 in Francis Lee’s instant queer classic, God’s Own Country, and has been making adventurous choices ever since.ĭressed for much of the movie in a cream linen suit that’s grubby and rumpled, like a gentleman archeologist or a continental traveler gone to seed, Arthur lives among the plants and trees in a makeshift shanty on the town’s ancient walls. The tombaroli regard Arthur as a kind of mystic, able to locate fruitful spots to dig with a forked tree branch that serves as a divining rod, the force of each find sapping his strength. The chimera of the Englishman Arthur (Josh O’Connor) is Beniamina, the woman he loved and lost, who haunts his dreams. The title refers to unattainable dreams and illusory promises, which for these looters of history is the prospect of striking it rich with one major find that will set them all up for life. Venue: Cannes Film Festival (Competition)Ĭast: Josh O’Connor, Carol Duarte, Isabella Rossellini, Alba Rohrwacher, Vincenzo Nemolato
