Years later Ismael is working in a bar where he sees the daughter again. Paranoid that she has recognised him and will report him, he kidnaps her and holds her hostage, demanding that her hospital pay a ransom for her release. As he spends more time with her, a strange bond develops that causes him to delay the ransom request or fulfil his threats of throwing her in front of a train. But he can’t delay forever… A gothic thriller with pitch-black humour that recalls the Coen brothers, Juanma Bajo Ulloa’s sophomore feature won a host of prestigious international awards and was a precursor to the Spanish genre explosion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e4K restoration of the film supervised and approved by director Juanma Bajo Ulloa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUncompressed stereo 2.0 audio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAudio commentary by Bajo Ulloa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Story of The Dead Mother -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e a documentary on the making of the film featuring behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew (2008, 38 mins)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVictor’s Kingdom [El reino de Victor] \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- Goya Award-winning short film by Ulloa, restored in 4K \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(1989, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e38\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e mins) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGallery of behind-the-scenes and promotional imagery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTrailer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLimited edition booklet featuring new writing on the film by Xavier Aldana Reyes, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpanish Gothic: National Identity, Collaboration and Cultural Adaptation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, and newly translated archival writing by Juanma Bajo Ulloa, co-writer Eduardo Bajo Ulloa and an appreciation by Nacho Vigalondo\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLimited edition soundtrack CD featuring Bingen Mendizábal’s sumptuous score [exclusive to the limited edition]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eScanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: 1993\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCert: 18\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Blu-ray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: ABC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRAD024BDLE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEAN: 5060974680467\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease date: 02\/10\/23\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“Sumptuously shot in ravishing painterly hues of crimson blood red, earth brown and twilight blue, this film sets up and explores a compelling set of relationships between its protagonists and achieves a series of riveting suspense set pieces.” - Jeremy Clarke, What’s on in London\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“Plays with conventions of both the thriller and the jet-lack comedy.
