Karla Sofia Gascon is making her return to the screen in a major way with her role in The Life List, a psychological thriller that has generated significant buzz. Gascon will portray a psychiatrist, embodying a character with the duality of both gods and devils. This role will mark her first film appearance following the controversy surrounding her remarks about religious communities, which led to a media firestorm and resulted in her being boycotted from various events. Despite this, Gascon has managed to stay relevant, earning several nominations during the award season.
In The Life List, Gascon stars alongside Vincent Gallo, with the debut filmmaker Stefania Rossella Grassi at the helm. The film’s plot revolves around Gallo’s character, who receives coded messages in his apartment building’s elevator, urging him to commit violent acts against his neighbors, who also have their own murderous plans for their families. Grassi has described the movie as “perturbing, livid, and hypnotic,” and it promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
As for Gascon, this role is particularly interesting as she steps back into the limelight after the fallout from her earlier comments. She recently opened up about her role while attending Europe’s oldest festival for the LGBTQ community, showing that she is continuing to pursue her career despite past setbacks.
Alongside The Life List, Gascon will also be appearing in the Italian comedy Men and the Other Inconveniences, shot shortly before the controversy surrounding her portrayal in Emilia Perez.
Fans and critics will be eagerly watching Gascon’s return to the big screen, both for her acting chops and to see how her career evolves in the aftermath of the earlier controversy.
