Review of Sex and Lucía (2001) by Matt A — 22 May 2012

One of the most intoxicating films I've ever seen. A second viewing is essential, especially with the use of imagery and flashbacks, but once you're immersed in the storyline there's no turning back. The setting on the island of Formentera is simply stunning and the performances from the cast are brilliant as well.

I actually think that this film is held back in part by it's English title, and also that the graphic sex scenes lead a lot of people to write it off without giving it a proper chance. All right, so I'd feel uncomfortable watching it with my parents, but it is genuinely a fantastic piece of cinema and I think that most people would see that upon giving it a proper chance. I thoroughly recommend this film.
