After being released from prison, Arthur, a grumpy British archaeologist with a supernatural gift for locating Etruscan relics, returns to Tuscany and reunites with a ragtag group of tomb raiders. As they uncover unknown riches, it becomes clear Arthur isn’t looking for wealth, but rather a mythological way to reconnect with his lost love Beniamina.

A movie that absolutely pierces you with its beauty. Josh O’Connor’s turn as Arthur may be his best performance yet, which is saying something, as he is one of the most talented young actors working today. This film has one of the most original takes on grief I have ever seen, using the robbing of Etruscan tombs to represent a larger obsession with the past, an inability to move on.
