Sex and Lucia (Lucia y el Sexo)
Made in: Spain
Language: Spanish
Synopsis: Lucia (Paz Vega) is a free-spirited waitress who tries to overcome a bad breakup with her boyfriend Lorenzo (Tristan Ulloa n), a writer. When Lorenzo learned he was in a car accident, have been killed.
Devastated, Lucy was a trip to the isolated island of the peninsula Spain where she and Lorenzo I used to go. Getting along with their loss and life, he meets Elena (Najwa Nimri), who heads a rooming house for visitors (like a bed and breakfast).
What was then the story takes us, six years ago, and learn on the intertwined histories of Lucia, Lorenzo, and Elena, and the emotional entanglements that result. And while working on his latest novel, Lorenzo discovers he is the father of an illegitimate child.
As was later intrigued by the fascination of the nanny of the child, Bela © n (Elena Anaya), Lorenzo complications of real life are at their work and were entitled to a complicated story, and often sex to confusion romance, love triangles, jealousy ... and cooking.
Comment: At its core, Sex and Lucia is truly a great story interesting with a mix of time, life characters, fiction, reality is very creative. As with amateurs Arctic Polar Circle (Les Amants du Círculo Polar), Julio Medem, once made a convincing at times. However, as confusing as it is this Mobius strip of a film in a sense logically, work themselves to the end. From a technical standpoint, the photography is excellent and luminous form stylized much from the outside are shot to give the film a lot of character.
However, the general description of Lucia and sex to live quite juicy title. Of course, there are a lot of sex in the first half of the film, but once the plot begins to thicken, the tone changes when you may wonder if you still see the same film. And once that happens, the sex scenes before you start you feel for him.
I fake. As a man, I have no problem with seeing Paz Vega, Elena Anaya naked. But after that (possibly) discovered that this story was actually deep psychological drama (as opposed to a porn disguised as art), I think this movie would have worked well Free boob free nude shots and blatant.
In addition, the character Paz Vega Lucia is not as central to the story you believe, So I am not sure of the title is all you need. And if I remember correctly, the tight red dress that Vega is on sex and Lucia movie poster (Cover) Is not really seen in the film.
Who wants this movie: You'll like the first half of Sex and Lucia, so you is the guy who is too embarrassed to rent porn from your local video store because you're afraid that the sales clerk or other customers in line will think you are some kind perverse.
But when the real story kicks in, this appeal to fans of films foreign films and those who appreciate the complex psychological tales. But the contrast between the first and second semesters are discordant, and most likely is the color of your general expectations and impressions of the film.
