Synopsis
Gloria Mundi (2019) is a Marseille social drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Robert Guédiguian. The birth of a baby girl named Gloria pulls a sprawling working-class family back together, even though most of them are barely holding on.
Daniel (Gérard Meylan) walks out of prison and back into the life of Mathilde, the daughter he hardly raised. Her husband Nicolas wears himself thin driving for a ride-share app; Mathilde herself is on probation at a shop. One night a pack of taxi drivers, sick of the cheap competition, beats Nicolas in the street — and the family's fragile balance starts to come apart, bill by bill. Ariane Ascaride and Jean-Pierre Darroussin play the older generation, long used to tightening their belts.
Guédiguian has filmed his blue-collar Marseille for thirty years, and here he watches money turn relatives against each other. It's a quiet film, no melodrama, about what a life lived on credit finally costs. Stream Gloria Mundi online on iFILM.
