Sebastian Lelio’s Gloria Bell, and the fine art of turning your life – and your first movie – around GlobeArts
Chilean film director Sebastian Lelio, an Oscar-winner for his 2017 film A Fantastic Woman, poses on June 5, 2018 in Paris.“Even our middle-aged bodies are less than 10 years old,” Julianne Moore’s title character says midway through the new dramaThe actress’s fiftysomething divorcee is laying naked in bed with her boyfriend, talking about cell renewal.
Differences between the two films are immediately apparent – for starters, Moore is much more recognizable than Garcia, and almost too polished at first glance. But it doesn’t take long for Moore to disappear completely and become Bell, a divorced mother in search of love who sings along to music in her car, lays on the floor to smoke a joint or, without hesitation, rips open the Velcro of her boyfriend’s abdominal binder to take him to bed.
Lelio is certainly not the first director to redo his own film with an American cast. Austrian director Michael Haneke did so with. On stage after’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this past September, the director and his star explained the reason for the new version: mutual admiration.
