Belle Époque

1992, Movie, 1h 49min

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, this rollicking, sensual romp unfolds in early-1930s Spain, where Fernando (Jorge Sanz), a handsome young Civil War deserter, goes AWOL and seeks refuge in the sprawling country home of a free-thinking artist (Fernando Fernán Gómez). There, he finds himself in a romantic dilemma when the artist’s four beautiful daughters (among them Penélope Cruz in one of her first film roles) returns home—which woman should he romance? The answer proves hilariously simple, as Fernando is seduced instead by each of the high-spirited, sexually liberated sisters.
