Little Men Trailer


After the death of his father, Brian, Kathy and their son Jake move into a building they inherited. The building is already inhabited by Leonor and her son Jake who rent the shop at the front and the apartment at the back. Jake and Tony soon become friends, they're both into different things but they bond nevertheless.

Jake has always been a bit of a loner and his mum and dad are both glad that Jake finally seems to have a good friend. Each person in the building has their own personal struggles, Leonor's business is quiet and lives apart from her husband whilst Kathy is the main provider for the Jardine family - Brian is a struggling stage actor whose wage doesn't go far enough to cover the family's finances. 

When the Jardine's learn that Leonor's rent is considerably under the average amount for the neighbourhood, they feel they have no other option but to increase the amount she pays. Leonor pleas for the Jardine's to be a little sympathetic to their cause and initially Brian allows her to continue renting the property but when his sister intervenes, he's left with no option but to evict Leonor and Jake.

Gloria Review


Excellent

Since Hollywood refuses to make clever, engaging films about strong 50-something women, leave it to Chile to give us a movie to celebrate. This delightful comedy-drama has a loose plot that lets Paulina Garcia's terrific title character spring wonderfully to life. And she's never a victim: Gloria is a woman who does things on her own terms.

The film opens by showing us how full her life is. She may be divorced, but Gloria enjoys her busy days, going from her office job to yoga classes, laughter therapy and helping her adult children (Fontecilla and Zamora) with their issues. And in her spare time, she heads to the local disco to meet men. It's there that she encounters Rodolfo (Hernandez), a man her age who runs an extreme sports park. As their relationship develops, Gloria begins to worry that he has no interest in her children, and even worse he constantly leaves her in the lurch so he can help his own adult daughters. So she has to make a decision.

The nice thing about Gloria is that she knows she's fine on her own; she doesn't need Rodolfo, but she likes him and is willing to put up with his baggage (including his velcro corset). Watching her deal with him gives us a striking portrait of her independent resilience. Even though she's had a rocky romantic life, she's still hopeful about love and maintains a youthful silly streak. Garcia plays all of this with a blast of personality that wins us over completely.

Gloria - Trailer And Clip


Gloria is 58-years-old, divorced and no longer has children to care for, but the last thing she wants to do is settle down to a life of quiet solitude. Instead, she spends her nights partying away at the local clubs and bars, and eventually meets Rodolfo - a former naval officer who charms her and makes her feel like a young woman again. However, he appears to be less adventurous than she, and their whirlwind romance begins to wane when she suggests they abandon work for a short while to go dancing in Cuba. She wants to introduce him to her family, but when she tries, he is no longer picking up the phone. The pair are forced to confront their own needs and desires if they want to continue their blossoming relationship.

'Gloria' is an adorable Spanish romance drama about how finding love later in life can be just as thrilling and rollercoaster-like as young love. Directed by Sebastian Lelio ('Christmas', 'El ano del tigre') who co-wrote the screenplay with his frequent writing partner Gonzalo Maza, the flick has been selected as the Chilean entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the upcoming Academy Awards. It will be released in the UK on November 1st 2013.
