BY THE THROAT

2021 / 75 mins / Belgium / Hebrew, Arabic, English, Dutch, German, Tibetan

This film is wild. It is the type of film it is best to go into with as little prior knowledge as possible. However, I will say that it's an “elevated” essay film that brings you along on its own quest for understanding human communication: its successes, limitations, and failures. It's a slow burn and takes a while for viewers to settle into it, but the advice I give you is to stick with it, even through the WTF moments. The payoff is illuminating.
