An award-winner in its homeland and a sleeper hit abroad, Sex and Lucía is a sensitive, sensuous, and refreshingly earnest drama about adult relationships—and the gap between sex and intimacy. And Paz Vega, who’d go on to work in Hollywood and with Almodóvar, becomes a star!

Lisandro Alonso’s Liverpool is a film of shimmering, tremulous beauty from a modern master of Argentine cinema. As this poetic meditation on loneliness and alienation embarks on its profound voyage through time and space, the smallest of gestures become charged with a devastating emotional power.
