Belle Epoque (2017)

"Belle Epoque" is the Oscar-winning Spanish comedy set in the years before the Spanish Civil War. It follows a young deserter who stumbles into the orbit of four sisters, each pulling him a different direction. Romance and sexual awakening drive the story as much as its politics. Maribel Verdu and Penelope Cruz play two of those sisters, both early in their careers here. The site hosts 3 scenes drawn from the film, including nude and topless footage of both actresses. Their scenes carry that loose, liberated spirit the film is known for. It's a film with real festival pedigree that still doesn't shy away from its own frankness about desire.
