Ama Gloria (2023)

£0.00

(Àma Gloria)


Country: FR
Technical: col/1.42:1 83m
Director: Marie Amachoukeli-Barsacq
Cast: Louise Mauroy-Panzani, Ilça Moreno Zego, Arnaud Rebotini

Synopsis:

A six year-old girl has been brought up by a busy father, supported by a live-in nanny from Cape Verde. When the latter's mother dies, she must return to look after her own children, and the French child feels orphaned. A summer holiday spent together on the islands only complicates both their feelings of loss.

Review:

While the child's performance is undeniably powerful, the voguish docu-style (heavy use of close-up, loosely constructed narrative) makes this impassioned drama somehow less affecting than it ought to be. Sporadic, over-extended bouts of animation reinforce the themes of the exotic, the ocean and the elements, but the abiding effect is too monotone.
