01 — THE WORK
Gilda is thirty-three. She loves men, sells her body and crosses the world with an irreducible desire. But her figure is far older.
Tender and grandiose, vulnerable and immensely powerful, the protagonist of Giovanni Testori's La Gilda del Mac Mahon inhabits the margin, where desire, love and wound blur into one another.
Nei letti degli altri brings Gilda back into the present to give us a figure at once suburban and sacral: a mythological body within modernity.
02 — DIRECTION
“Testori does not look at marginality from the outside. He does not use the periphery as a realistic backdrop.
In his work, the periphery is the place where life presents itself without screens, at the point where love, sex, hunger, shame, the desire for elevation and social violence touch”.
