very great film with paz vega
having heard virtually very little information about this film in 2002, i decided to give it a try as i love foreign or art films. of all the films i've had the displeasure or pleasure of watching, sex and lucia is by far one of the most intoxicating films i've seen yet in the local multiplex cinema. with a structure and characterization unlike most films, lucia may be a film you will have to watch twice before you can truly digest everything that takes place in the course of less than two hours. even then, there is still quite a bit to chew on. here we have a thought provoking, totally mysterious, and always seductive atmosphere which pulls us in like a black hole leading us to water. off and on throughout the story, we are reminded that the film can literally change it's course at anytime and completely alter all of our character's destinies within less than a breath. while this MOVIE may be worlds away from being called pornography, i still say the film is more graphic or suggestive than the majority of the films we will see this year including another favorite of mine entitled y tu mama tambien. i'm glad to say however that the acting here is flawless and story is so well-drawn that everything seems to click here like the screenwriters had perhaps originally intended which may be rare i'm sure. i am not sure, however, though if the lighting and the camera movements are intetional here but that gives the film somewhat of an edge and literally compliments the story within the big picture. rather than shying away from a film like lucia because you don't like subtitles or graphic love scenes, give this incredible piece of film making a try.
