Synopsis: Gloria, a free-spirited woman in the mid 50s, lives the realities of her whirlwind relationship with a former naval officer whom she meets out in clubs.
Review: Gloria and many other characters are depicted with children, some of them divorced, so that this story could also be placed in a European city. As picture of the modernity, the children do not care much about the parents, and inform them barely about their lives. So that the life of Gloria is switching from work to parties in a sweet and dramatic loneliness. Some sex scenes with quite old people, this is quite rare. Globally, the story is a bit slow and reminds therefore Straight story, by David Lynch. Where Lynch filled the space with music, Lelio fills it with the smile of Gloria and her singing shortly some songs. Both actors are making it great and give some impulses to the storyline. The movie was not so bad, but the pace may be boring for many.
Rating: 5 /10
