Àma Gloria

When: Friday 17th April 2026- 8pm till 9:30pm

Hosted by: WMIP Analytic Film Group

We meet regularly online (once every couple of months) and bring analytic thinking to discussions on a range of films. Group members suggest film and at the end of each session we draw the title for our next session. Films are introduced by the proposer who invites the group members into an exploration from a psychological perspective.

This film is available to watch on Apple TV £5.49, BFI 7 day free trial (then £6.99 per month) or rent for £5.49, Curzon Home cinema £4.00.

Directed by Marie Amachoukeli and starring Louise Mauroy-Panzani, Ilça Moreno, Arnaud Rebotini, Abnara Gomes Varela, Fredy Gomes Tavares and Domingos Borges Almeida.

ÀMA GLORIA

Bespectacled Cléo is six years old who lives with her father and has lost her mother to cancer. Fortunately, there is Gloria, her nanny, who loves her and whom Cléo adores. However, Gloria’s mother has also died, and she must return to her native island of Santiago in Cape Verde to care for own children. Chloe wrestles with her wish to bring Gloria back to live with her and her father and the grief of letting her go to her own children who too have had to do without their mother.

The film was given huge acclaim particularly for the performance by Louise Mauroy-Panzani as six year old Cléo. Charlotte O’Sullivan of The Guardian wrote “One of the year’s most hypnotic performances nestles inside this seemingly modest French-language coming-of-age drama.”
