Livia La Gatto
Livia La Gatto’s filmography isn’t exactly what you’d call mainstream, but honestly, that’s the charm. She’s got this knack for slipping into stories that are just a little off-beat, a little left of center—never the cookie-cutter stuff. Take “Chuck Billy and the Marvelous Guava Tree” (2024) for instance. It’s not your typical flick. The story? A wild, magical ride through rural Brazil where local myths and childhood wonder run riot. There’s something about the way Livia pulls you into this universe of talking trees and impossible dreams, where every character feels like someone you once met at a family barbecue and never quite forgot. There’s heart, but there’s also a healthy dose of weirdness—think magical realism with a side of guava jam.
Then there’s “LOL: Se Rir, Já Era!” (2021). Total gear shift. Instead of dreamy fantasy, you get a full-on laugh riot—comedians stuck in a room, trying not to crack up, and Livia’s right in the thick of it. She doesn’t just play for laughs; she’s got that sly, deadpan delivery that sneaks up on you. Watching her, it’s obvious she’s not afraid to look ridiculous or push the joke one step further than most would dare. She brings this infectious energy, almost like she’s in on a secret, making you want to lean in closer. Whether she’s guiding a magical tree adventure or nailing a punchline, Livia La Gatto just owns her space on screen.
