WIFF films June 5, 2014



The WIFF Spring series continues at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday, June 5th with two celebrated feature-length dramatic films.


Gloria, Director Sebastián Lelio, Chile-Spain 2013 @ 6 pm


Gloria is a "woman of a certain age" but still feels young. Though lonely, she makes the best of her situation and fills her nights seeking love at social dance clubs for single adults. Her fragile happiness changes the day she meets Rodolfo. Their intense passion, to which Gloria gives her all, leaves her vacillating between hope and despair -- until she uncovers a new strength and realizes that, in her golden years, she can shine brighter than ever. Gloria was Chile's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, and features Paulina García in a tour de force performance that captured the Silver Bear Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival.


 


The Past (Le Passé), Director Asghar Farhadi, France-Italy 2013 @ 8pm


Following a four-year separation, Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) returns to Paris from Tehran, upon his estranged French wife Marie (Bérénice Bejo)'s request, in order to finalize their divorce procedure so she can marry her new boyfriend Samir (Tahar Rahim). During his tense brief stay, Ahmad discovers the conflicting nature of Marie's relationship with her teenage daughter Lucie (Pauline Burlet). Ahmad's efforts to improve this relationship soon unveil a secret from their past.
