Belle Epoque, director Fernando Trueba’s (The Queen of Spain) 1994 Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film, makes its Blu-ray debut courtesy of Olive Films.

In 1931, Spain is a politically divided nation and on the brink of war. With allegiances torn between Republican and Traditionalist factions, Fernando (Jorge Sanz, Conan the Barbarian), a disillusioned soldier, has chosen a third option — going AWOL. Fate intervenes during his escape when he meets Manolo (Fernando Fernán Gómez, All About My Mother), an admiring land owner who welcomes him into his home — a home inhabited by Manolo’s four visiting daughters, each more beautiful than the other. Clara (Miriam Díaz-Aroca, High Heels), Violeta (Ariadna Gil, Walking Vengeance), Rocío (Maribel Verdú, Y Tu Mamá También) and Luz (Penélope Cruz, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!) will prove to be more than just a pleasant distraction for Fernando. While seeking refuge from the chaos of the outside world, he’ll find romance at every turn…

Part comedy, part drama, part romance, the R-rated Belle Epoque is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
