Tierra (Earth) (1996)

Dressed in blinding white, carrying a strange pack upon his back and a toxin-spewing wand, comes the exterminating Angel and his similarly clad army to the scorched, crimson earth of Aragon wine country to destroy the insects that give the wine it's unique flavor. There Angel finds himself falling in love with a lonely wife, Angela, who only stays with her cheating husband for her daughter's sake. He also falls for the town's teenage tramp, the white-hot, black-leather wearing Mari, who falls in love with him after one passionate night. This off-beat Spanish romance chronicles his relationships with the two women while also dealing with his strange relationship to his alter ego who may, or may not be, an angel. Tierra (Earth) is director Julio Medem's (Lovers of the Arctic Circle, Vacas) epic metaphysical melodrama that sprawls across a gorgeous widescreen landscape and was the winner of two 1996 Goya Awards: Best Original Score (Alberto Iglesias) and Best Special Effects. The DVD features remastered picture & sound and includes a "Making of" documentary.
