Before his festival darlings “A Fantastic Woman” and “Disobedience,” Chilean filmmaker Sebastian Lelio was best known for 2013’s celebrated “Gloria” which won many awards. That film starred Paulina García as a free-spirited older woman in Santiago who engages in a whirlwind relationship with a former naval officer whom she meets out in the clubs. Now Lelio re-imagines his own film five years later with this English-language remake starring Julianne Moore in the lead role in a new take which is set in Los Angeles and is what the director calls a ‘re-invigorated and vital’ version of the story that goes well beyond a mere remake.
