DRAMA
My daughter glory
Regi Robert Guédiguian, med Ariane Ascaride, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Anaïs Demoustier.
Another Robert Guédiguian film.
Another representation of the French working class, where the majority have smashed illusions.
French director Robert Guédiguian it’s a bit like Ken loachminus anger.
He makes films about the French working class, most of the time they take place in Marseille and its surroundings, but he does not have the same political ambitions, to strip capitalist society. Their stories as only is, enters and leaves the lives of ordinary people, but does not take a clear position on what and how it should be different.
As usual, you recognize a lot of the actors from his previous films, mainly his wife. Ariane ascaride.
She and Jean-Pierre Darroussin plays a couple in their 60s, Sylvie and Richard, who keep fighting. She is a cleaner, he is a bus driver.
They are examples of the generation that the director most often portrays. Your lifestyle, your way of thinking. He has more understanding for them (no wonder, he’s the same age himself) than for the younger generations. They are portrayed a bit as immoral and lazy.
The couple have a daughter in common (Lola naymark) and one (Anaïs Demoustier) consider their joint daughter, even though the father is Sylvie’s first husband (Gerard meylan), who at the beginning of the film comes out of a 20-year prison sentence.
Both daughters live conflicting lives and it is not entirely easy to make ends meet. One of her husbands is also unfaithful to the other half sister.
Gloria from the film’s title is the newborn daughter of one of them. It is around them, and the hope that they have a better life than their own, that everyone in the family comes together.
A gripping family drama, where most people have shattered their illusions.
