FILM

La Gola, translating to “the throat,” is an epistolary film that demonstrates the ability of language to convey powerful emotion when expression and visual indicators are left implicit. Over the course of eight letters, Gianni describes the successive dishes of an exquisite banquet, while Rossana gives an account of the progressive decline of her mother’s health. The two characters are played by hyperrealistic mannequins, that appear motionless with their eyes modelled and animated in CGI.
