This unexpected movie treat by Chilean director Sebastián Lelio tells the story of a middle-aged divorcée who decides to take her life in her hands and, at the age of 58, take advantage of all the second chances she gets in life.

With bittersweet combination of humor and melancholy, Gloria deals with the daily disappointments of middle age with optimism and a crooked smile on her way to a quiet personal catharsis. Lelio’s delightful heroine is interpreted by Paulina García, who was rightfully awarded the Silver Berlin Bear for best actress at the last Berlinale. L.K.

He has so many conquests that his friends have taken to calling him ?Don Jon?. What they don't know is that he's addicted to porn.

    The Great Beauty

    The Great Beauty

    Operatic in dimensions with definite references to Federico Fellini's ?La Dolce Vita?, Paolo Sorrentino's new film soars across the big screen as an authentic audiovisual delirium, a whirlwind of people, places and events in a vivid kaleidoscope of human behavior.

    Ain't Them Bodies Saints

    Ain't Them Bodies Saints

    David Lowery's ethereal new effort, winner of the Best Cinematography Award at Sundance, is a cross between the untainted beauty of "Badlands" and the violent honesty of "Bonnie and Clyde".
