From Academy Award-winning director Pedro Almodovar (2002 Best Original Screenplay, Talk to Her; 1999 Best Foreign Language Film, All About My Mother), the critically acclaimed Sony Pictures Classic film Volver will debut on DVD on April 3rd with the suggested retail price of $28.95 and on Blu-ray with the suggested retail price of $38.96.
Starring Academy Award nominee Penélope Cruz (2006, Best Actress, Volver) as a young woman struggling to raise her daughter while dealing with the ghost of her own mother. In addition to an Oscar nomination for its leading lady, Volver has been internationally honored with awards.
Volver won Best Actress (for the ensemble cast) and Best Screenplay awards at the Cannes Film Festival; Best Foreign Language Film from the National Board of Review; Best Film, Best Director, Best Lead Actress (Cruz), Best Supporting Actress (Carmen Maura) and Best Original Score at the Goya Awards (Spain); and Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematographer, and Best Composer at the European Film Awards. Volver has also been nominated for additional awards by BAFTA (Best Actress and Best Film not in the English Language) and the Screen Actors Guild (Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role).
Volver is a comedic and compassionate tribute to women and their resilience in the face of life’s most outrageous tribulations. A luminous Penélope Cruz leads an ensemble of gifted actresses, including Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown). Raimunda (Cruz) and her sister Sole lost their parents in a tragic fire years ago … or did they?
Superstitious villagers claim that the girl’s departed mother, Irene (Maura), has been seen wandering around their Aunt Paula’s home. When Irene appears to Sole, she explains that she has returned to set right her daughters’ troubled lives and reveal shocking secrets that will impact everyone! Raimunda has “female troubles” of her own, least of which is a corpse in the freezer!” Winner of numerous film festivals and critics’ awards, Volver is a hilarious tale of love, loss and forgiveness.
