Angela's Diaries. Two Filmmakers. Chapter Three

This new instalment of Angela's Diaries concludes the trilogy dedicated to the late Angela Ricci Lucchi, with whom Yervant Gianikian made all his films, which recount man's violence against nature, animals and humanity itself. Lucrezia Lerro sensitively reads Angela's diary about her illness, giving voice to her intimate writing and to the dense poetics of the painful passages that seem to be paced at the rate of her heartbeats, word after word, as she desperately tries to overcome her illness. Themes include the war, Angela's political work and the promise made to her to continue working.
