English-language do-overs of world cinema successes frequently go awry; furthermore, we had the cautionary tale of Dutchman George Sluizer, who directed a hopeless 1993 remake of his own impeccable 1988 chiller “The Vanishing,” to remind us that even having the original filmmaker in charge was no guarantee against a travesty.

The first of his two films to premiere in 2017, the vibrant, heartfelt transgender character study “ A Fantastic Woman ,” was riding a wave of festival and critical success that began with a Best Screenplay win at the Berlinale, and culminated with an Oscar for Best International Feature (or Best Foreign Language Film, as the award was still called then) — the first ever win for a Chilean film in the category, sealing a resurgence of the country’s cinema also being led by such contemporaries as Sebastián Silva and Lelio’s own producer Pablo Larraín. The second, “ Disobedience ,” was Lelio’s English-language debut — another story of queer identity, but an altogether different tonal and stylistic proposition.

A sober portrayal of an illicit romance between two women from North London’s strict Orthodox Jewish community, it was sensitively observed and beautifully acted by leads Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams, with a restraint that was occasionally countered by moments of frank, charged sensuality. The contrast between “A Fantastic Woman” and “Disobedience” confirmed Lelio as a particularly empathetic and versatile teller of women’s stories — and “Gloria,” a warm and unsentimentally joyous comedy of a fiftysomething divorcée’s reawakening, was also good one.

But why go back, when his career was barreling forward? As it turned out, Lelio knew better than his doubters.

The remake, which eventually premiered in 2019 as “ Gloria Bell ,” hewed close to the template of the original, largely inheriting its pleasures and poignancies. But if that makes it sound redundant, it proved a canny and fascinating exercise in performer-as-auteur influence: It was clear that Lelio, self-evidently a champion of women on screen, was interested to see how a wholly different actress would change the tone and temperature of his original story.
