Gloria Bell

Gloria (Julianne Moore) is in her mid-50s, divorced, and no stranger to a good time. She spends her days at the office and her nights flirting at singles’ parties and hitting the dance floor. When she meets Arnold (John Turturro) one evening, the two fall head over heels in love. But what begins as a passionate romance soon turns out to be an emotional rollercoaster for Gloria: For while her own children have long since left home, Arnold’s ex-family is more present in her life than Gloria would like... With “Gloria,” director Sebastián Lelio has delivered a no less captivating U.S. remake of his Chilean tragicomedy “Gloria” (2012)—by reimagining the story with the same verve in a different setting and with a new cast. “Although many scenes are recreated almost frame-for-frame, the story gains a surprisingly unique perspective thanks to the outstanding lead actress. From a multitude of nuances emerges the portrait of a highly vibrant character who wants to break free from the underlying melancholy of her existence. – Worth seeing” (Lexikon des Internationalen Films)
