Belle Epoque Reviews
if bill forsyth had been spanish ...
jorge sanz (a looker) stars as a soldier deserting from the spanish army during the 1930s civil wars, taken into a family, who proceeds to fall in love with and seduce all four daughters, while forging a father/son relationship with the patriarch. touching and kinky and off beat, a worthy winner of the oscar as best foreign language film in 1992.
Hilarious And Sexy Romantic Comedy With Superb Flourishes Of Social Drama
A joyous and sexy romantic comedy that manages to insert heavy doses of drama (sometimes quite melancholy) and social commentary into itself without losing its overall playful, upbeat vibe, "Belle Epoque" is a treasure and a fantastic introduction to the world of Spanish-language comedy. Set in the Spanish Civil War, a concsientious objector deserts the army and ups being offered refuge at the farm of a charming old intellectual, whose four daughters each end up taking a quick liking to the young - and perpetually flummoxed - desserter. Filled with a large, great cast of diverse characters - including the farm father's eclectic group of friends and his unusual, absent-on-tour musician wife, and spearheaded by Penelope Cruz's smashing performance as Luz - "Belle Epoque" taps into a rich range of material and does it all extremely well. An alltime winner.
