First screenshots from Gloria!, first upcoming fiilm co–written and directed by Margherita Vicario. It will premiere on February 2024 and is pending for the Golden Bear of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival.

It is late 18th century in Venice, and in a convent school for girls Teresa, a girl with prophetic gifts, joins forces with some amazing music-makers. They create a new kind of music that is pop, bright and bold, and challenge the ancient and rigid system.

this scene ruins me every. single. time.

the way Hank immediately apologizes, even if its just him and manny alone in the woods hes so scared of what other people would think if they saw him like this, hes so scared of being seen as "wrong" or "different".

the way he stops when hes called beautiful, and then tries to calm himself down ("no why would- really?") like hes scared being happy about it. Like him being happy about being called beautiful/being dressed as a woman is something that is inherently wrong and impossible.

even the way he walks in all stiff and hunched over like he is hiding, but relaxes when manny accepts him with open arms.!!! FUCK!!!

i always read Hank as being transgender (or atleast gnc) and thats why hes so scared and ran away from society. hes so terrified of being seen as gross or just different in general that he tried to live in shame until he couldnt anymore.

I think his infatuation with Sarah isnt one of "i want her" i think its a "i want to BE her"

the montage scene, where for 90% of it he is dressed as Sarah, is probably the happiest we ever see her, just by being able to express herself like this (even if it is in the woods grilling raccoons in a dress made out of garbage).

“But maybe everyone's a little bit ugly. And maybe we're all just ugly, dying sacks of shit, and maybe all it'll take is one person to just be okay with that, and then the whole world will be dancing and singing and farting, and everyone will feel a little bit less alone.”
