Gloria

Chile

We follow the exploits of a fifty-something woman out there looking for love. She meets a 'divorced' man who takes her on a roller coaster ride from the peaks of his love to the depths of his fear.

Superbly played by Paulina Garcia. Her performance was sometimes large, sometimes subtle...cluing us in with a shift of her eyes, her eyebrow. She looked and acted like everywoman...trying her best, getting knocked down, getting up again...never giving up.

Nice use of music throughout. The setting could have been any modern metropolis. Reminiscent of Fellini's Nights of Cabiria...and it worked equally well. Good stuff...
