If you loved Love Streams, try Gloria
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Cassavetes, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Love Streams, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gloria is
A cracked window frame in a Queens tenement. A child’s shoe on the stoop, still damp with rain. Gloria, a woman who keeps her shotgun loaded and her emotions closer, takes in the orphaned boy—then flees with him into subway tunnels and flickering neon, clutching a ledger no one should read. Cassavetes shoots their flight like a breath held too long.
