Why So Blu?

Own PARALLEL MOTHERS On Blu-ray April 5th!

Last year saw the classic winning combination of director Pedro Almodóvar and actor Penélope Cruz reunite for Parallel Mothers. The film has landed Cruz yet another Best Actress nomination at the Academy Awards (Perhaps she’ll take home her second Oscar). Composter Alberto Iglesias has also been recognized by the Academy for his score for the film. It’s arriving Blu-ray on April 5th from Sony. You can pre-order the film now from the paid Amazon Associates link below to have to own on or around the release date. And tune in to the Oscars to see if it makes any noise in its 2 categories.

PARALLEL MOTHERS

ON DIGITAL MARCH 22ND AND ON BLU-RAY™ AND DVD APRIL 5TH

Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and become pregnant by accident. Janis, middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way.
