Ventnor Film Society still have seat available for tomorrow’s screening of Gloria.
Gloria is a 58 year-old divorcee looking for love in the singles bars of Santiago when she meets the older Rodolfo, an ex-naval officer. Now owner of an extreme sports amusement park, he takes her bungee-jumping and paintballing.
Romance is on the cards, but they both have emotional baggage and struggle to escape the ties of their pasts. Gloria is a compelling portrait of a strong, free-spirited woman who lives life on her own terms and her story of love the second time around is in turn funny, painful and romantic.
Present in every scene in the film, Paulina Garcia gives a brilliant performance as Gloria, a passionate, resilient party girl with a lust for life, rushing headlong into the future whatever it may bring.
Leilo’s thoughtful screenplay creates a refreshingly frank and endearing portrayal of an older woman who is not afraid to go off the rails if that is what it takes to find happiness.
Tickets are £5 each, but you must book in advance. Please email [email protected]
