The music too is just excellent, mirroring the protagonist’s journey, and injecting some real life into this tale, which tells a very understated, subtle story, but one so rich in humanity. Turturro matches his co-star at every turn, with a hugely empathetic display in an otherwise flawed and desperate character. But this one made the cut, which is some feat, all things considered. Sebastián Lelio and Julianne Moore on Gloria Bell set.Ībove anything else, the lead performance is staggering, and this is from an actress with such an array of incredible performances we struggled to whittle it down to five when we recently wrote about her. Of course there is one major difference, and that’s the change of setting, as this tale moves from the auteur’s home nation to the USA, with Julianne Moore now taking on the gift that is the eponymous lead role a free-spirited, middle-aged woman who begins a new relationship with a man, played by John Turturro, who she meets at one of her favourite disco nights. Alas, Hot Corn weren’t even around back then, so we’ve had to wait to do so with Gloria Bell, as Lelio remakes his own film, shot for shot, and the results are equally as wondrous. In 2013, Sebastian Lelio released Gloria, and had we been writing about the hottest releases of that very week at the end of October, we’d have put the Chilean filmmaker’s feature at the centre of the piece.
