“Fashion is totally political, the icon of a political system.” — Sebastian Lelio

The mystery of film is not in the script. It's in the shooting, in the interacting of humans and space and time.

I don't believe in closed scripts; I think that they should be open.

'Gloria' is a film about a fifty eight-year-old woman who is quite alone in life; however, she is quite optimistic. Nobody has much time for her, and so she regularly goes to these single adults' parties where she is looking for someone. By the end of the film, she doesn't necessarily find love, but she does find something else.

Chilean society is conservative, but U.S. society is puritanical.
