Trailer
Why watch this film?
Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio is in charge of the remake of his wonderful 2013 film, 'Gloria' (ensuring the correct reproduction of its artistic legacy, as Michael Haneke did with 'Funny Games'). Now, with Julianne Moore at the helm of 'Gloria Bell', the filmmaker supports the entire film on the shoulders of the Oscar-winning actress, who puts her great talent to good use. The film works both as an ode to female empowerment, sensuality, sexuality and the possibility of love in middle age and as a celebration of Moore's career, which is at the top.

Disobedience
One of the most surprising movies of 2018, 'Desobediência' explores the weight of customs and religion in an impossible love, which defies all written and unwritten rules of a Jewish community in England. In the story, Rachel Weisz (Oscar winner for 'The Constant Gardener') and Rachel McAdams (Academy Award nominee for 'Spotlight') reunite and reignite a passionate and disobedient spiral, with the religious side represented by Alessandro Nivola ('Selma' and 'American Hustle'). The result is a provocative film, driven by the passionate performances of its trio of protagonists and by the excellent direction of Sebastián Lelio, who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for 'A Fantastic Woman'.
A Fantastic Woman
Powerful movie that won the Best Foreign Film Oscar -- an unprecedented feat for Chile, the country of origin of the production, and for feature films starring transgender people. And it's no wonder. Daniela Vega's performance is intense, sad and full of layers. In addition, Sebastián Lelio's (from the American 'Disobedience') firm direction helps to intensify the story of Marina (Vega), a woman who goes through suspicions, discrimination and more injustices after her partner, an older man, dies suddenly. Although very sad and intense, it is a necessary film to understand and reflect on what much of the trans community still goes through today.
The Wonder
'The Wonder' is directed by Sebastián Lelio ('A Fantastic Woman'), based on the book by Emma Donoghue, and selected in festivals such as Toronto, London, and Telluride. The story, set in 1862, follows a nurse (Florence Pugh, 'Midsommar') who travels to a remote town in Ireland to help an 11-year-old girl (Kíla Lord Cassidy), who claims to have not eaten for four months and has survived only on "manna from heaven". It's a film that tackles the boundaries of faith, religious fanaticism, and abuse and will certainly be remembered for its performances (Pugh dominates every second on screen) and for an excellent production design that takes us back to the 19th century, although its themes remain relevant to the present.
